How Access to Weight Loss Injections Is Generally Decided
Prescription-only weight loss injections such as semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are not available to everyone. Eligibility is assessed by a prescriber and is based on clinical factors such as body mass index (BMI), the presence of weight-related health conditions, and whether other options have already been tried. In the UK, for example, NHS access is typically limited to specific criteria, and provision has been phased and subject to supply conditions. Other countries have their own rules and funding pathways.
Because eligibility varies widely — by country, region, and individual circumstances — there is no single answer to who can get these medicines through a public health system. The most reliable step is to speak directly with your prescriber or doctor, who can review your medical history and advise on what is available to you locally.
A few points worth knowing:
- These medicines are prescription-only — they cannot be obtained without a valid prescription from a qualified prescriber.
- Access through public health systems is often subject to waiting lists, supply availability, or specialist referral.
- Private prescription routes also exist in some countries, separately from public provision — your prescriber can discuss what applies in your situation.
- Supply of some of these medicines has at times been limited; read more about weight loss jab shortage updates and how that may affect people already on treatment.

Already Prescribed? Here Is How GLP Trackr Supports Your Journey
GLP Trackr is a companion app designed for people who are already prescribed a weight loss injection — it does not sell, supply, or help anyone obtain medication. If you have been prescribed Mounjaro or Wegovy and are looking for support staying on track, the app is built specifically for that.
One of the most practical features is injection-site tracking and rotation. Each time you inject, you log the site — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm — and the app keeps a history so it can suggest your next rotation. Rotating sites consistently is something most prescribers recommend, and having an automatic reminder takes the guesswork out of it.
Alongside site tracking, the app lets you log every dose with its date, time, and strength, so you always have a clear record of where you are in your treatment. Dose reminders help make sure a weekly injection is never accidentally skipped.
If you are exploring whether you qualify for a prescription and want to understand the broader picture first, our page on getting a weight loss jab covers what the assessment process generally involves.
Always follow the guidance of your prescriber or doctor — they know your full medical history and are the right person to advise on eligibility, access, and anything related to your treatment. If you have questions about your specific situation, contact your healthcare professional directly.
Ready to make the most of the treatment you have been prescribed? GLP Trackr is free to try for 7 days — download it on the App Store or Google Play and let it handle the tracking while you focus on your progress.

GLPIQ tracks where you are in your injection cycle and adjusts everything around it: lighter meals on nausea days, higher protein when appetite returns, and smarter targets as your medication level shifts.
Predicts Before You Feel It
GLPIQ learns your personal side effect patterns over time. After a few cycles, it starts warning you the morning before a rough day — and adjusts your meal plan automatically.

GLPIQ analyses every dose you've been on: weight loss rate, side effects, food noise, mood, protein adherence and tells you which dose gave you the best results. No other app does this.

Frequently asked questions.
Eligibility for weight loss injections through a public health system varies by country, region, and individual clinical factors such as BMI and health conditions. Only your prescriber or doctor can confirm whether you qualify — there is no universal entitlement.
In the UK, NHS access to weight loss injections is typically based on criteria including BMI thresholds and weight-related health conditions. Eligibility is assessed by a clinician and may also depend on local availability and specialist referral pathways.
Speak with your prescriber or doctor. They will review your medical history and circumstances and advise on what is available through your local health system or via a private prescription, if applicable.
No. GLP Trackr is a tracking and journaling app for people already prescribed Mounjaro or Wegovy. It does not sell, supply, or help anyone obtain medication or a prescription.
Supply of some weight loss injections has been intermittently limited. If you are affected, contact your prescriber or pharmacist for guidance on your options — do not adjust your dose or schedule without speaking to your healthcare professional first.
