NHS Criteria for Weight Loss Drugs (October 2026)
The NHS criteria for weight loss drugs centre on a BMI of at least 35 plus at least one weight-related condition, as NICE recommends for Mounjaro, with access phased in so the highest-need groups are treated first.4 Private prescribing follows the wider licensed criteria.

In this guide
01 · The core answer
What are the NHS criteria for weight loss drugs?
The NHS criteria are set by NICE and applied in phases. NICE recommends it for adults with a BMI of at least 35 plus at least one weight-related condition, and the NHS primary-care rollout began in June 2025 with the highest-need groups first (initially BMI 40+ with four or more qualifying conditions).46
Full rollout is expected to take years, which is why many people who meet the licensed criteria choose regulated private treatment rather than waiting.
| Route | Who it covers | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| NHS (phased) | BMI of at least 35 plus a weight-related condition, highest-need groups first | NICE recommendation and NHS England rollout |
| Private (licensed) | BMI of 30 or above, or between 27 and 30 with a weight-related condition | Product licence, prescriber assessment |
02 · Your next step
What should you do next?
Start by working out your BMI and listing any weight-related conditions. Then ask your GP where you fall in the local rollout. If you do not meet the NHS criteria yet, or do not want to wait, you can read about NHS eligibility in more detail or look at private treatment at our weight loss clinic. A GPhC-registered prescriber reviews every consultation.

03 · Licensed criteria
Licensed criteria for weight loss drugs
The licence is wider than the NHS criteria. Mounjaro is licensed for weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI between 27 and 30 with at least one weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnoea, cardiovascular disease, prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.1 It must be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
A prescriber will assess your BMI, medical history and current medicines before deciding whether it is suitable for you.11 Our page on criteria for Mounjaro for weight loss covers this in full.
04 · Ethnic background
Do thresholds change for some backgrounds?
Yes, for some groups. People from South Asian, Chinese, other Asian, Middle Eastern, Black African or African-Caribbean backgrounds are at higher risk of weight- related health problems at a lower BMI, so clinical thresholds are usually reduced by 2.5 kg/m² for these groups.4 Ask your GP or prescriber how this applies to you.
05 · Who is excluded
Who should not take it
Meeting a BMI threshold is not enough on its own. Mounjaro is not suitable for everyone. You should not take it if you are allergic to tirzepatide or any of its ingredients, and it should not be used during pregnancy or while trying to conceive.13 Mounjaro must not be used during pregnancy, and it should be stopped at least one month before trying to conceive. If you become pregnant during treatment, stop the medicine and tell your prescriber promptly. Your prescriber will take extra care, or may recommend against treatment, if you have a history of pancreatitis, severe gut or digestive disease, diabetic retinopathy, or gallbladder problems.
Tell your prescriber if you or a close relative have had medullary thyroid cancer or the inherited condition MEN 2. Routine thyroid monitoring is not required for most people.1
06 · Private option
If you do not meet NHS criteria
Private treatment is an option if you meet the licensed criteria but not the NHS ones. Your first 2.5mg Mounjaro pen costs £129.99 with code FIRST40 (standard price £169.99). The consultation is free and is reviewed by a GPhC-registered prescriber, and unsuitable orders are refunded automatically. You can also compare NHS prescribed weight loss drugs or check weight loss medication criteria.
How ordering works

Step 2: Prescriber review — usually same day
A UK registered prescriber checks your suitability against the licensed criteria (BMI ≥30, or ≥27 with a weight-related condition) and contraindications, and confirms your starting dose.
Step 3: Next-day tracked delivery
Dispensed by our GPhC-registered pharmacy in temperature-controlled packaging with needles and a sharps bin included. Orders approved by 3pm for next-day tracked delivery.
Prescription and dispatch follow clinical approval. Confirm current delivery options when ordering.
Afterwards you're not on your own: dose-change reviews are built in before each step up, our pharmacist team is available for side-effect questions, and repeat orders re-check suitability rather than auto-shipping.
