Our Clinical Assessment Approach
Understanding Mounjaro Suitability Criteria
The suitability assessment for Mounjaro involves a comprehensive evaluation conducted by UK-licensed prescribers who specialise in weight management treatments. This assessment process is designed to ensure that Mounjaro is only prescribed where clinically appropriate and safe for individual patients.
Our prescribers evaluate multiple aspects of your health profile to determine treatment suitability. This includes reviewing your medical history, current health status, existing medications, and individual circumstances that may influence treatment appropriateness. The assessment follows established clinical protocols that prioritise patient safety and treatment effectiveness.
Mounjaro may be suitable for some adults following clinical assessment, but it is not appropriate for everyone. The prescriber's evaluation determines whether this prescription medicine aligns with your specific health needs and circumstances. This individualised approach ensures that treatment recommendations are tailored to your unique medical profile.
The assessment process also considers your commitment to lifestyle changes, as Mounjaro is designed to support weight management alongside reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Prescribers evaluate your readiness to engage with the comprehensive approach required for successful weight management.
Medical History and Health Assessment
Your medical history plays a crucial role in determining Mounjaro suitability. Prescribers conduct thorough reviews of past and present health conditions that may influence treatment appropriateness. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that all relevant medical factors are considered before making prescribing decisions.
The assessment includes evaluation of previous weight management attempts, any underlying health conditions, and your overall health status. Prescribers also review any family medical history that may be relevant to treatment considerations. This detailed medical review forms the foundation of the suitability assessment.
Current health conditions are carefully evaluated to determine whether Mounjaro is clinically appropriate. Some medical conditions may mean that this treatment is not suitable, while others may require additional monitoring or considerations. The prescriber's clinical expertise guides these important decisions.
Your current medications are thoroughly reviewed to identify any potential interactions or contraindications. This medication review is essential for ensuring treatment safety and determining whether Mounjaro can be safely prescribed alongside your existing treatments.
Individual Circumstances and Contraindications
The suitability assessment considers individual circumstances that may affect treatment appropriateness. This personalised evaluation ensures that prescribing decisions account for your unique situation and health profile. Prescribers assess various factors that may influence whether Mounjaro is right for you.
Certain circumstances may mean that Mounjaro is not suitable. For example, people who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should not use this treatment. The assessment process identifies such contraindications to ensure patient safety and appropriate prescribing practices.
Age-related considerations are part of the assessment process, as Mounjaro is only prescribed to suitable adults. The prescriber evaluates whether treatment is appropriate based on individual age-related factors and overall health status. This ensures that prescribing aligns with clinical guidelines and safety protocols.
Lifestyle factors and personal circumstances are also considered during the assessment. This includes evaluating your ability to commit to the dietary and physical activity changes that are essential for successful weight management. The prescriber assesses your readiness to engage with the comprehensive approach required.

The online medical consultation allows prescribers to gather detailed information about your health status, medical history, and individual circumstances. This consultation process is structured to capture all relevant information needed for accurate suitability assessment. Prescribers review this information carefully before making treatment decisions.
Following the assessment, prescribers make individualised decisions about treatment suitability based on clinical appropriateness. Where Mounjaro is deemed suitable, prescriptions are issued through our regulated process. Where treatment is not appropriate, prescribers provide explanation and may suggest alternative approaches to weight management.
The assessment process maintains high standards of medical care while providing convenient access through our GPhC-registered online pharmacy service. This approach ensures that you receive professional medical evaluation without compromising on clinical quality or safety standards.
Ongoing support and monitoring are integral parts of the assessment approach. Prescribers remain available for consultation throughout your treatment journey, ensuring that any questions or concerns can be addressed promptly.

The suitability assessment is not a one-time evaluation but rather the beginning of a professional relationship with our prescribing team. Regular review appointments may be recommended to monitor treatment progress and ensure continued appropriateness of your prescription.
