What Prescribers Typically Consider When Assessing Eligibility
Eligibility criteria for Mounjaro vary between healthcare systems and individual clinicians, but a few factors come up consistently across most settings.
BMI thresholds
Many programmes use BMI as a starting point. In a number of countries — including the UK, where some national guidance exists — a BMI of 35 or above has commonly been cited as a threshold, sometimes lower (around 30) when certain weight-related health conditions are present. However, BMI alone does not determine eligibility; it is one input among several.
Weight-related health conditions
The presence of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, or raised cholesterol can affect whether a prescriber considers Mounjaro appropriate and at what BMI threshold. These are sometimes called obesity-related comorbidities, and their presence can mean eligibility at a lower BMI in some systems.
Previous management history
Prescribers will generally want to know what steps have already been taken — dietary changes, physical activity, or other weight-management approaches. Mounjaro is typically considered as part of a broader programme rather than a first-line standalone step.
Medical suitability and contraindications
Not everyone is a suitable candidate regardless of BMI. A prescriber will review your full medical history, any current medicines, and any conditions that might make tirzepatide unsuitable. Suitability is an individual clinical judgement — your prescriber or doctor is the right person to make it.
If you are exploring whether you might qualify, the most direct route is a conversation with a healthcare professional. For more detail on eligibility factors, see our page on whether you might qualify for Mounjaro. You can also read about cost considerations for Mounjaro if that is part of your planning. Once prescribed, practical questions like what you need for your injections become relevant too.

Already Prescribed? Here Is How GLP Trackr Supports Your Journey
Once your prescriber has determined that Mounjaro is right for you and you have started treatment, staying consistent and informed becomes the day-to-day priority — and that is exactly where GLP Trackr helps.
The app is built specifically for people on Mounjaro and Wegovy. Its dose and injection logging feature lets you record every weekly shot — date, dose strength, and injection site — so you always have an accurate record of your treatment history. That record can be genuinely useful when you attend a follow-up appointment: instead of trying to recall how the past eight weeks have gone, you can show your prescriber a clear summary generated by the app.
Alongside dose tracking, the daily check-in captures weight, energy, mood, and how you are feeling overall, building a picture of your progress over time. Many people find this helps them notice patterns — and gives them something concrete to discuss at their next clinical review.

GLP Trackr is a tracking and journaling app. It does not offer medical advice, and nothing here should replace the guidance of your prescriber or doctor — they know your full history and are the right people to advise on eligibility and treatment decisions.

Frequently asked questions.
Many programmes reference a BMI of 35 or above, or around 30 when certain weight-related health conditions are present. However, BMI is just one factor — your prescriber or doctor assesses your full medical picture to determine eligibility, and thresholds vary between healthcare systems.
Yes. Criteria vary between countries and even between individual providers within a country. Some national health services have published specific eligibility criteria; private prescribers may apply different thresholds. Your prescriber or doctor is the right person to advise on the criteria that apply to you.
Mounjaro is prescribed for weight management as well as for type 2 diabetes in many healthcare systems. Whether you qualify without a diabetes diagnosis depends on your BMI, any other health conditions, and your prescriber's clinical judgement. A healthcare professional can assess your individual situation.
Once prescribed, you will typically follow a titration schedule set by your prescriber, starting at a low dose. Staying consistent, logging your doses, and tracking how you feel are all important. A companion app like GLP Trackr can help you keep an organised record of your treatment journey.
No — GLP Trackr is a tracking and journaling app for people already prescribed Mounjaro or Wegovy. It does not assess eligibility or provide medical advice. To find out whether you might qualify, speak with your prescriber or doctor.
