Injectable Weight Loss Management in Wales
The demand for injectable weight loss treatments—such as Mounjaro—is growing across the UK. In response, the Welsh Government has released updated prescribing guidance to ensure medications are used safely and appropriately.
Who Can Prescribe These Medications?
Under current guidance:
- Only specialist weight management services are permitted to prescribe injectable weight loss treatments.
- GPs are not authorised to issue these prescriptions.
This approach ensures patients receive support and monitoring from experienced professionals.
Accessing Weight Management Support
If you feel you may benefit from weight management assistance, you can self-refer to the Adult Weight Management Service provided by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board.
Important Notes for Private Prescriptions
Please be aware:
- Our practice cannot take over prescriptions for weight loss medications obtained through private providers.
- Your private provider is responsible for evaluating your suitability for treatment, as well as handling any required monitoring and follow-up care.
