How is Mounjaro administered?
Mounjaro is given as a once-weekly injection under the skin, usually in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm, and is designed to support weight loss as part of a broader plan that includes healthy eating and increased physical activity. The injection is typically self-administered at home after training from a healthcare professional, and the medication is being gradually introduced for weight management in the UK for those who meet specific criteria. You should not contact your GP for Mounjaro until local NHS services have confirmed it is available in your area.
