How weight loss injections are typically prescribed
Because Mounjaro and Wegovy are prescription-only medicines, the starting point is always a consultation with a qualified prescriber or doctor. They will assess whether one of these treatments is appropriate for you based on your individual health history, current medications, and relevant criteria — such as body mass index and related health conditions. No one can or should supply these medicines without that clinical assessment.
Routes to a prescription
Broadly speaking, people access weight loss injections through two main routes:
- State-funded healthcare: In some countries, these medicines may be available through a national health service under specific clinical criteria. Availability, waiting times, and eligibility vary significantly by country and region. See our page on whether weight loss injections can be accessed through state-funded healthcare for more detail on how this works in practice.
- Private or self-funded prescribing: Many people access these medicines privately, through a registered clinic, online prescribing service, or private doctor. A legitimate service will always require a medical consultation before prescribing. If you are considering this route, our guide on how to get weight loss injections covers what to look for in a provider.
Why access can be difficult
Some people find it frustrating that they cannot easily get weight loss injections. Eligibility criteria exist for clinical reasons — these are powerful medicines with potential side effects, and prescribers need to be confident they are appropriate and safe for each individual. Supply has also been constrained in some countries at various points, meaning even those who meet the criteria may face delays. If you are wondering why access has been difficult for you specifically, a conversation with your prescriber or doctor is the right place to start. You can also read more about the general criteria around getting a weight loss jab.
Online prescribing
Registered online clinics can legally prescribe these medicines in many countries, provided they conduct a proper medical assessment. Always verify that any online provider is registered with the relevant regulatory body in your country. Be cautious of any service that offers to supply these medicines without a full consultation — that is not a legitimate or safe route.

Already prescribed? Here is how GLP Trackr helps from day one
GLP Trackr is designed for people who are already prescribed Mounjaro or Wegovy — it is a companion app for your journey, not a route to obtaining the medicine. Once your prescription is in hand, the app helps you get the most from every dose.
Injection-site tracking and rotation
One of the most practical features for new starters is injection-site logging. Each time you inject, you can record which site you used — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm — and the app tracks your rotation history, suggesting your next site automatically. Rotating sites consistently is something most prescribers recommend, and having a reliable log means you are never left guessing where you injected last week.
Dose logging and reminders
The app also lets you log each dose — strength, date, and time — so your full injection history is always in one place. Gentle reminders help you stay on your weekly schedule without having to rely on memory alone. If you ever miss a dose and need to discuss it with your prescriber, your log gives you an accurate record to refer to.
Any questions about your dose, schedule, or whether this treatment is right for you should always go to your prescriber or doctor — they know your full medical history and are the right person to guide those decisions.
