This information is about how the weight loss drug tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) will be prescribed to patients. The local NHS is aiming for this drug to be available to those eligible later in the year but is paused whilst we set up local clinics for Derby and Derbyshire.
We are working across the local NHS to put in place community-based clinics to meet areas of greatest need. This is being organised by the Integrated Care Board (ICB) which has the responsibility.
How can I access tirzepatide (Mounjaro®)
Please do not contact your GP if you think you are eligible as it will not be available in Derby and Derbyshire until later in the year.
