How weight loss injections are prescribed and accessed
Mounjaro and Wegovy are both once-weekly injectable medicines prescribed for weight management in people who meet specific clinical criteria. Because they are prescription-only medicines, the path to getting one runs through a licensed prescriber — whether that is a doctor, specialist clinic, or another qualified healthcare professional in your country.
What the prescription process generally involves
A prescriber will typically review your medical history, current weight and health conditions, and any medicines you already take before deciding whether a weight loss injection is suitable. Suitability criteria vary by country and by the individual prescriber, so there is no single universal answer to who qualifies.
Once prescribed, the medicine is dispensed through a registered pharmacy. GLP Trackr is a tracking app — it does not sell, supply, or source any medication, and it cannot help you obtain a prescription. For guidance on whether you might be eligible, speak to your prescriber or doctor directly.
Understanding the medicines involved
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, while Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Both are given as once-weekly subcutaneous injections and are started at a low dose, with any adjustments made by the prescriber over time. You can read more in our overview of weight loss injections or explore what the weight loss jab involves for people already using it.
Availability and supply
Demand for these medicines has been high in many countries, and supply has at times been limited. If you are already prescribed one and are concerned about continuity, your prescriber or pharmacist is the right point of contact. Our page on weight loss jab shortage covers what people already on treatment are doing to stay on track. You may also want to read about accessing a weight loss jab through publicly funded healthcare in countries where that pathway exists.

Already prescribed? How GLP Trackr supports your injection routine
If you have been prescribed a weight loss injection and are starting or continuing your treatment, staying consistent with your weekly schedule matters. GLP Trackr's injection-site tracking and rotation feature is built specifically for this: log each injection — the date, dose strength, and site (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm) — and the app tracks your rotation history and suggests where to inject next, so you never have to guess or repeat a site too soon.
Alongside site tracking, dose reminders mean your weekly injection is never quietly missed. You can also use the app's side-effect log to record how you feel after each dose — useful information to bring to your next prescriber appointment rather than trying to recall it from memory.
For more detail on the practicalities of injecting, see our guide on how weight loss injections work for people already on treatment.
If any aspect of your injection — a reaction at the site, uncertainty about timing, or anything that concerns you — feels unclear, always follow your prescriber or doctor's guidance. They have your full medical history and are the right person to advise you. GLP Trackr records your journey; it is not a substitute for clinical care.
Ready to bring some structure to your injection routine? GLP Trackr is free to try for seven days — available on the App Store and Google Play. Log your first shot, set your weekly reminder, and let the app handle the rotation tracking from there.

Frequently asked questions.

Eligibility depends on your individual health profile and the criteria used by your prescriber or healthcare service. The right step is to speak directly with your prescriber or doctor, who can assess whether a weight loss injection is clinically appropriate for you.
No. GLP Trackr is a tracking and journaling app for people already prescribed Mounjaro or Wegovy. It does not sell, supply, or source medication, and it cannot assist with obtaining a prescription. For access, speak to a qualified prescriber or registered pharmacy in your country.
Supply of these medicines has been limited in some countries. If you are already prescribed and experiencing supply issues, contact your prescriber or pharmacist for guidance. GLP Trackr can help you log and track doses you do receive to stay as consistent as possible.
Mounjaro and Wegovy are typically injected subcutaneously into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Your prescriber or the patient information leaflet with your pen will give you specific guidance. GLP Trackr lets you log and rotate sites to help avoid using the same spot repeatedly.
