How to Get Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) in St Ives — Private GP Route

How do I get Mounjaro in St Ives?

Tirzepatide (marketed as Mounjaro) is one of the most talked-about medicines for weight loss and blood sugar control. Clinical trials have shown average weight reductions of up to around 20% for some patients on tirzepatide — but that result depends on dose, follow-up and a supported lifestyle plan. If you live in St Ives and are considering Mounjaro, Mayfield Clinic offers a clear private GP pathway to assessment, prescription (where appropriate) and ongoing review.

What is Mounjaro and who might it suit?

Mounjaro is a prescription-only injectable medication (tirzepatide) used for improving blood glucose in type 2 diabetes and increasingly prescribed off-label in specialist pathways for weight management. It acts on gut hormones to reduce appetite and improve glycaemic control. Not everyone is suitable — decisions are made case-by-case after a clinical assessment.

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

We make access fast and personalised. If you’re based in St Ives, the pathway is simple:

• 1) Book an appointment online using the Book now button. Members may also book by phone or WhatsApp.
• 2) Attend a comprehensive private GP consultation (you’ll be seen at our Cambridge clinic — details here: Mayfield Clinic Cambridge). We mention this early so St Ives patients can plan travel.
• 3) Clinical assessment: medical history, current medications, weight and blood pressure review. We check eligibility for tirzepatide and discuss realistic aims.
• 4) Baseline investigations: blood tests (including HbA1c if relevant), kidney and liver function, and other checks as needed before prescribing.
• 5) Prescription and training: if appropriate, your private GP will prescribe Mounjaro and demonstrate injection technique. We support you until you’re confident to self-administer at home.
• 6) Follow-up: monthly or regular reviews with the same named doctor to monitor progress, adjust dose and co-ordinate multidisciplinary support (nutrition, psychology, exercise therapy).

What to expect during the consultation

Expect a detailed, evidence-based conversation. We review prior weight-loss attempts, medications (including diabetes drugs), and any contraindications. For St Ives patients we’ll confirm how you’ll travel to Cambridge for your initial visit and set realistic timelines for blood tests and follow-ups.

"Fast access to a named GP is our priority — you’ll usually see the same doctor for continuity and better outcomes."

Costs and private prescription information

Private prescriptions for Mounjaro involve the consultation fee, any required blood tests, and the medication cost itself. Prices vary by dose and dispensing route. If cost is a primary concern, ask for a clear written breakdown during your first appointment so you can plan. We will also discuss alternatives such as semaglutide (Ozempic/WeGovy) where clinically appropriate.

Safety, sourcing and why not to buy Mounjaro online

Only accept Mounjaro when prescribed after a full clinical assessment. Unregulated online sellers may supply counterfeit or unsafe products. As a private GP clinic serving St Ives patients from our Cambridge practice, we source licensed medication through registered pharmacies and provide monitoring, which is vital for your safety.

What happens after you start treatment?

Expect regular reviews. Common early side effects include mild gastrointestinal symptoms which usually improve. Your named doctor will check weight, bloods and any side effects, and coordinate support from dietitians, psychologists or exercise therapists if needed. This integrated approach improves long-term outcomes.
