How Prescribers Decide on Mounjaro
Because Mounjaro is a prescription-only medicine, the decision to prescribe it rests entirely with a qualified healthcare professional. They will consider your medical history, current health conditions, other medicines you take, and whether you meet the clinical criteria relevant to your healthcare system and local guidelines.
What clinical criteria typically involve
Prescribing criteria for Mounjaro generally consider factors such as body mass index (BMI), the presence of weight-related health conditions, and whether other approaches have already been tried. Criteria can vary significantly between countries and between individual healthcare providers, so what applies in one setting may differ from another. Your prescriber is the right person to explain exactly what criteria informed their decision for you.
Prescription routes vary by country
In some countries, a general doctor (a primary care or family physician) may be able to prescribe Mounjaro directly. In others, a specialist referral or approval from a specific programme may be required. Because this varies so widely, it is not possible to give a single universal answer — your prescriber or doctor is the definitive source for how it works in your location and healthcare setting.
If you are curious about the broader context of whether a general doctor can prescribe Mounjaro, or about how Mounjaro is typically prescribed, those pages cover the topic in more detail. You may also find it useful to read about keeping your doctor informed during your Mounjaro journey.

Already Prescribed? Here's How GLP Trackr Supports Your Journey
Once you have your prescription in hand, the day-to-day management of your treatment is where GLP Trackr comes in. The most practical starting point is dose and injection logging — every time you take your weekly injection, you can record the dose strength, date, time, and injection site in the app. This means you always have an accurate record of your treatment history, which can be genuinely useful when you attend a follow-up appointment with your prescriber.
GLP Trackr also tracks injection-site rotation, suggesting where to inject next based on your history, so you are not relying on memory to stay consistent with rotation. And if you ever want a clear summary of how your journey has progressed — weight changes, side effects logged, doses taken — the app can pull that together as a doctor report to bring to your next appointment.
Staying consistent with a weekly injection schedule is easier when you have a gentle reminder, and the app's dose reminders mean a dose is far less likely to slip your mind.
Any questions about whether your prescription is right for you, or whether your dose should be reviewed, should always go to your prescriber or doctor — they know your full medical picture, and those decisions are theirs to make. GLP Trackr is here to support the tracking and journaling side of your journey, not to replace clinical guidance.
Ready to keep a clear record of every dose, site, and milestone? GLP Trackr is available free on the App Store and Google Play, with a 7-day free trial to get started.

The first AI built exclusively for GLP-1 weight loss. Every insight, every meal plan, every prediction trained on one thing only: helping you get the most out of your medication.

GLPIQ tracks where you are in your injection cycle and adjusts everything around it: lighter meals on nausea days, higher protein when appetite returns, and smarter targets as your medication level shifts.

GLPIQ learns your personal side effect patterns over time. After a few cycles, it starts warning you the morning before a rough day — and adjusts your meal plan automatically.

GLPIQ analyses every dose you've been on: weight loss rate, side effects, food noise, mood, protein adherence and tells you which dose gave you the best results. No other app does this.

Frequently asked questions.
In some countries a general or primary care doctor can prescribe Mounjaro; in others a specialist or specific programme is required. Prescribing rules vary by country and healthcare system, so your own prescriber or doctor is the right person to explain what applies in your situation.
Prescribers typically consider factors such as BMI, weight-related health conditions, and prior treatment history, but the exact criteria vary by country and healthcare setting. Your prescriber is the authoritative source for what criteria applied to your prescription.
No. GLP Trackr is a tracking and journaling app for people already prescribed Mounjaro or Wegovy. It does not sell, supply, or source medication, and it is not a prescribing or medical service. For prescription queries, speak to your prescriber or doctor.
Logging your doses, side effects, weight, and progress in GLP Trackr gives you an accurate record to share at appointments. The app's doctor report feature summarises your journey so you can have more informed conversations with your prescriber or doctor.
