Prescribing injections for weight loss

GPs are as yet  unable to prescribe injections for weight loss.

Black Country Integrated Care Board have  asked  GPs not to prescribe Mounjaro for weight loss at this time, whilst they work with clinical colleagues to develop options for the new service, including the training and education needed for these medications to be safely prescribed. They are also working with a range of experts from across the Black Country to strengthen the specialist weight management service for patients with more complex needs, which will prescribe weight management medication in future.
