How weight loss injections are prescribed and accessed
Because Mounjaro and Wegovy are prescription-only medicines (POMs), the starting point is always a consultation with a prescriber or doctor. They will assess whether a GLP-1 medicine is appropriate for you based on your health history, body weight, and any other medicines you take. No reputable route bypasses this step.
Public health service routes
In some countries, weight loss injections can be prescribed through a national or state health service, though eligibility criteria are typically strict and may include specific BMI thresholds, weight-related health conditions, or referral to a specialist service. Availability varies significantly by country and, within countries, by region. If you want to understand whether you might qualify through a public route, the right person to ask is your own prescriber or doctor — they will know the criteria that apply where you are. For a closer look at how NHS access works in the UK specifically, see our page on getting the weight loss jab on the NHS.
Private routes
Private prescribing is available in many countries and is often more accessible in terms of waiting times, though it involves a cost. A private prescriber will still carry out a medical assessment before issuing a prescription, and you will collect or receive the medicine from a registered pharmacy. Cost considerations around private access are covered separately on our page about the cost of the weight loss injection.
What to ask your prescriber
Whichever route applies to you, your prescriber or doctor is the right person to confirm eligibility, explain the process, and walk you through how the medicine is taken. For a detailed look at the full access process, our guide on how you get the weight loss injection covers this step by step. The main weight loss injections hub is also a useful starting point if you want a broader overview.
It is worth noting that GLP Trackr does not sell, supply, or source Mounjaro or Wegovy — we are a tracking app built for people who are already prescribed these medicines. For information on obtaining them, please speak with your prescriber or a registered pharmacy in your country.

Already prescribed? Here is how GLP Trackr supports your injections
Once you have your prescription and you are ready to begin, keeping track of your injections becomes an important part of staying consistent. GLP Trackr is built specifically for this.
Injection-site tracking and rotation
Mounjaro and Wegovy are both once-weekly injections typically given in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotating the site each week helps avoid discomfort and skin changes at any single spot. GLP Trackr lets you log each injection — including the site used — and suggests your next rotation automatically, so you never have to keep a mental note of where you last injected.
Dose logging and reminders
The app also logs the date, time, and dose strength of every injection, building a clear record over time. Gentle reminders mean a weekly dose is far less likely to slip your mind, especially in the early weeks when the routine is still new.
All of this information stays in one place and can help you have more informed conversations at your next prescriber appointment — the app is a companion to your care, not a replacement for it. Any questions about your dose, your injection technique, or how the medicine is working for you should always go to your prescriber or doctor.
Ready to bring some order to your weekly injection routine? GLP Trackr is free to try for 7 days — download it on the App Store or Google Play and start logging from your very first dose.
