How do I get Mounjaro? A practical guide for patients near Dorking

Quick introduction

Nearly three in ten adults in the UK are living with obesity. If you live in Dorking and are exploring medical options for weight management, Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a treatment many patients ask about. This article explains how you can access Mounjaro safely through a private GP pathway, what to expect from assessment and monitoring, and how Mayfield Clinic supports patients from Dorking—who will be seen at our Reigate practice—every step of the way.

What is Mounjaro and how does it work?

Mounjaro (active ingredient: tirzepatide) is a medication originally licensed to treat type 2 diabetes. It affects appetite, blood sugar and how the body handles nutrients, which is why it is also being used in weight management programmes under clinical supervision. At Mayfield Clinic we discuss Mounjaro alongside other options such as semaglutide (Ozempic) and Wegovy, tailoring choices to each patient’s health, goals and risk profile.

Who might be suitable?

Mounjaro is considered for carefully selected patients. Suitability depends on factors including your medical history (heart disease, pancreatitis, thyroid disease), current medicines, weight, and metabolic health. Not everyone is a candidate; that’s why a private GP consultation is essential before any prescription is issued.

Step-by-step: How to get Mounjaro through Mayfield Clinic (for Dorking patients)

1. Book an appointment: For residents searching “Mounjaro prescription near me” or “Private GP prescription for Mounjaro in Dorking”, start by booking a standard private GP consultation via the Book now button on our site. Members may also book by phone or WhatsApp.

2. Initial consultation: Your named GP (we keep continuity so you see the same doctor) will take a full medical history and discuss why you want Mounjaro, your weight-loss goals and alternatives such as dietary change, exercise therapy and psychological support.

3. Baseline tests: Before any prescription we perform baseline blood tests—HbA1c, kidney and liver function, and other relevant checks—to make sure Mounjaro is safe for you.

4. Shared decision and prescription: If Mounjaro is appropriate, your GP will issue a private prescription and explain dosing, injection technique and side effects. We teach injection administration in clinic until you are confident to self-inject at home.

5. Follow-up and monitoring: Expect monthly follow-ups initially. These appointments monitor progress, adjust dose, and manage side effects. We also offer wraparound care from exercise therapists and psychologists to support long-term weight management.

What to expect at the Reigate appointment if you live in Dorking

Although this page targets Dorking patients, clinical consultations and injections are provided from our Reigate practice. Reigate is a short journey from Dorking; many patients travel from Dorking to Reigate for fast access to the same named doctor and continuity of care. For travel details and clinic information, see our Dorking location page (Mayfield Clinic – Dorking) and our Reigate practice page (Mayfield Clinic – Reigate).

Safety first: every prescription is preceded by assessment and blood tests. We prioritise patients’ long‑term health, not quick fixes.

Costs and private prescription questions

Costs for a private Mounjaro prescription and associated consultations vary depending on the level of follow-up and multidisciplinary support you choose. If you search “Cost of Mounjaro prescription private” or “Affordable Mounjaro prescription private” online, remember to check what’s included: consultations, blood tests, follow-up, and any allied‑health support. You can request a treatment cost breakdown when you book your first appointment.

Is it safe to buy Mounjaro online?

Buying Mounjaro from unregulated websites can be dangerous. Only accept prescriptions from a qualified clinician following an assessment. We will not provide prescriptions without clinical review and appropriate monitoring. For reliable treatment, look for a private clinic offering face‑to‑face or secure video consultations and documented safety checks.
