How Do I Qualify for Weight Loss Injections?

Qualifying for weight loss injections such as Mounjaro (tirzepatide) or Wegovy (semaglutide) is a decision made entirely by a prescriber or doctor, based on your individual health profile. Most prescribing frameworks consider factors like body mass index (BMI) and the presence of weight-related health conditions — but the precise criteria vary by country, healthcare setting, and the medicine being prescribed. If you are reading this because you have already been prescribed one of these medicines, your prescriber has already determined you meet the relevant criteria for your situation.

How Do I Qualify for Weight Loss Injections?

What criteria are typically considered?

Because these are prescription-only medicines, no single global threshold exists — eligibility is assessed individually by a qualified prescriber. That said, several factors are commonly referenced across different healthcare settings worldwide.

BMI thresholds

Many prescribing guidelines use BMI as a starting point. A BMI of 30 kg/m² or above is often cited as a minimum threshold, though some frameworks allow for a lower BMI — commonly around 27 kg/m² — when a weight-related health condition is also present. Your prescriber will apply the criteria relevant to your country and clinical setting.

Weight-related health conditions

Conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, or obstructive sleep apnoea are frequently taken into account. Their presence can influence both eligibility and the choice of medicine.

Previous attempts at weight management

Many prescribing pathways expect that a person has previously tried to manage their weight through diet and lifestyle changes, though the exact requirements differ depending on where and how the medicine is prescribed.

Contraindications and suitability

Certain personal or medical circumstances may mean these medicines are not suitable — for example, a personal or family history of specific thyroid conditions, or pregnancy. Your prescriber reviews your full medical history before prescribing. These medicines are not generally intended for people under 18 unless a prescriber directs otherwise.

Already prescribed? Here is how GLP Trackr supports your journey

Once you are prescribed a weight loss injection, the focus shifts from qualifying to making the most of your treatment — and that is exactly where GLP Trackr is built to help.

The app's injection-site tracking and rotation feature is particularly useful from day one. Each time you inject, you can log the site you used — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm — and the app keeps a record of your rotation history, suggesting the next site automatically. Rotating sites consistently is something most prescribers recommend, and having a log makes it straightforward to follow through without relying on memory.

Alongside site tracking, dose logging means every injection is recorded with its date, time, and dose strength, giving you a clear, complete history of your treatment. If you ever have a question for your prescriber about how your journey is progressing, that record is ready to share.

Some people also find it helpful to log how they feel in the days after each injection — energy levels, appetite, and any side effects — so that patterns become visible over time. You can read more about the practical considerations that come with weight loss injections as you plan your ongoing treatment.

Your prescriber or doctor is always the right person to guide decisions about your dose, your schedule, and your ongoing suitability for treatment. GLP Trackr supports your journey between those appointments — it is not a substitute for their advice.

Frequently asked questions.

Qualification is decided by a prescriber or doctor based on your individual health profile — commonly considering BMI, weight-related health conditions, and your medical history. Criteria vary by country and healthcare setting. Your prescriber is the right person to assess whether these medicines are suitable for you.

Many prescribing frameworks use a BMI of 30 kg/m² or above as a starting point, or around 27 kg/m² if a weight-related health condition is present. The exact threshold depends on the specific medicine and the healthcare system involved — your prescriber applies the criteria relevant to your situation.

No — these are prescription-only medicines and are not suitable for everyone. Certain medical histories, existing conditions, or personal circumstances may mean they are not appropriate. Suitability is always assessed by a qualified prescriber, who reviews your full health history before prescribing.

Your ongoing suitability is something your prescriber monitors throughout your treatment. Attending follow-up appointments and reporting any concerns promptly helps ensure your treatment remains appropriate. GLP Trackr can help you log your doses, side effects, and progress to support those conversations.

Yes. GLP Trackr lets you log each injection — including the site used, dose strength, date, and time — and suggests your next rotation site automatically. It is designed specifically for people already on Mounjaro or Wegovy to help them stay consistent and organised.
