How to Get Mounjaro in Glasgow: Private GP Prescription Guide

Weight loss

08/09/2025 by Dr Marcus Gleave

Weight loss medications like Mounjaro are transforming lives across Glasgow. Yet many people struggle to access this breakthrough treatment through traditional NHS routes. The wait times can stretch for months, leaving patients frustrated and without the support they need.

At Mayfield Clinic Glasgow, we've streamlined the process to help you access Mounjaro quickly and safely. This powerful medication, containing the active ingredient tirzepatide, offers remarkable results for both weight management and type 2 diabetes control when prescribed by experienced private GPs.

What is Mounjaro and How Does It Work?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) represents a new generation of weight loss treatments. Unlike older medications, it targets multiple hormone pathways that control blood sugar levels and appetite. The medication works by mimicking hormones that naturally occur in your body, helping you feel fuller for longer whilst improving your body's response to insulin.

Clinical trials show that patients using Mounjaro for weight loss can achieve significant results - many losing 15-20% of their body weight when combined with lifestyle changes. This makes it particularly effective for people with a BMI over 30 or those with weight-related health conditions.

Steps to Get Mounjaro Prescription in Glasgow

Getting a private prescription for Mounjaro at our Glasgow clinic follows a straightforward process designed for your safety and success.

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of our experienced private GPs. During this appointment, we'll review your medical history, current medications, and weight loss goals. This thorough assessment ensures Mounjaro is suitable for your individual circumstances.

Medical Assessment and Blood Tests

Before prescribing Mounjaro, we conduct baseline blood tests to check your kidney function, liver enzymes, and blood sugar levels. These tests are essential for monitoring your progress and ensuring the medication works safely for you. Our Glasgow clinic can perform these tests on the same day as your consultation, saving you time.

Treatment Plan Development

Once you're approved for Mounjaro treatment, we'll create a personalised weight management program. This includes guidance on diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications that maximise your results. We believe in supporting the whole person, not just prescribing medication.

Mounjaro Treatment Process at Mayfield Clinic Glasgow

Mounjaro is administered as a weekly injection using a simple pen device. During your first appointment, our Glasgow team will demonstrate the injection technique and provide comprehensive training. Most patients feel confident administering their injections at home after just one session.

We start with the lowest effective dose and gradually increase it over several weeks. This approach minimises side effects whilst allowing your body to adjust to the medication. Regular follow-up appointments every 4 weeks allow us to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Who Can Access Mounjaro for Weight Loss?

Mounjaro prescription is suitable for adults who meet specific criteria. Generally, candidates have a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27 with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnoea.

Our private GPs in Glasgow assess each patient individually. Some people may not be suitable for Mounjaro treatment due to certain medical conditions or medications. This is why the initial consultation is so important - we ensure the treatment is both safe and effective for you.
