Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Availability

Important Update: Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Availability

We are aware of recent media coverage and interest around Mounjaro (tirzepatide), a new medication for managing type 2 diabetes and weight loss.

At present, Mounjaro is not yet available for prescribing in our area, as NHS Devon has not signed off on its use locally. Strict national criteria will apply once it is approved, and it will not be suitable or available for everyone.

We kindly ask that patients do not contact the surgery to request appointments or prescriptions for Mounjaro at this time.

We will provide updates as soon as guidance changes or local prescribing becomes available. Thank you for your understanding and support.
