How to Get Approved for Weight Loss Injections

Approval for weight loss injections such as Mounjaro (tirzepatide) or Wegovy (semaglutide) is decided by a qualified prescriber or doctor, based on your individual health profile — not something you can self-authorise or obtain without a clinical assessment. The criteria typically consider factors like body mass index (BMI), existing health conditions, and previous weight-management attempts, though the exact thresholds vary by country and healthcare setting. If you are already prescribed one of these medicines, your prescriber has already made that assessment for you.

What prescribers typically consider when assessing eligibility

Because Mounjaro and Wegovy are prescription-only medicines, the decision about whether they are appropriate for any individual rests entirely with a licensed prescriber. There is no universal global standard, but assessments commonly look at:

  • BMI thresholds — many prescribers use BMI as a starting point, often alongside other health indicators rather than as a standalone criterion.
  • Weight-related health conditions — the presence of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or raised cholesterol can be relevant to a prescriber's decision.
  • Previous weight-management history — a prescriber may consider whether other interventions have been tried.
  • Contraindications and safety factors — certain personal or family medical histories (for example, relating to thyroid conditions or pancreatitis) may affect suitability. Your prescriber will review these with you.

It is worth noting that eligibility criteria can differ significantly depending on your country and the specific healthcare pathway you are using — whether that is a public health service, a private clinic, or a specialist weight-management programme. Always discuss your individual circumstances directly with your prescriber or doctor; they are the only person who can make this assessment for you.

Already approved and prescribed? Here is where GLP Trackr comes in

Once you have been through the approval process and your prescriber has started you on treatment, the real work of staying consistent begins — and that is exactly what GLP Trackr is built for.

The most relevant feature for the injection side of your journey is injection-site tracking and rotation. The app logs each injection — including the site you used (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm) — and suggests your next rotation automatically, so you are never guessing or repeating the same spot unnecessarily. Alongside this, dose logging means every injection is recorded with the date, time, and dose strength, giving you a clear history to refer back to. Gentle dose reminders help make sure a weekly injection does not quietly slip your mind.

All of that data lives in one place, so when you attend a follow-up with your prescriber, you have a clear record of your treatment to discuss — rather than trying to recall it from memory.

You may also find it useful to read about the cost considerations around weight loss injections if you are weighing up your options with your prescriber.

GLP Trackr helps you stay on top of your journey once treatment has started — it is not a substitute for your prescriber's guidance, and any questions about your dose, eligibility, or suitability should always go to your healthcare professional.

Ready to bring some structure to your weekly injection routine? Download GLP Trackr on the App Store or Google Play and start a free 7-day trial — your injection log and rotation history will be waiting for you.

Frequently asked questions.

A licensed prescriber or doctor makes this decision based on your individual health profile, including factors such as BMI and relevant medical history. There is no self-approval process — these are prescription-only medicines and eligibility must be assessed clinically.

Common criteria include BMI thresholds, the presence of weight-related health conditions, and previous weight-management history. Exact criteria vary by country and healthcare setting, so your prescriber or doctor is the right person to discuss your specific situation with.

Yes. A prescriber may decide these medicines are not suitable based on contraindications, medical history, or other clinical factors. If you have concerns about your eligibility, speak directly with your prescriber or doctor, who can explain the reasoning and discuss any alternatives.

GLP Trackr helps you stay consistent after approval — logging each injection, tracking site rotation, setting dose reminders, and recording your progress over time. It is a companion tool for people already on treatment, not a prescribing or eligibility service.
