How Mounjaro Prescribing Works
Mounjaro is a once-weekly injectable medicine whose active substance, tirzepatide, acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors involved in appetite regulation. Because it is a prescription-only medicine, a prescriber must evaluate your individual health history, current medicines, and circumstances before it can be issued to you.
Who can prescribe Mounjaro?
Mounjaro can be prescribed by a range of healthcare professionals depending on the country and healthcare setting — this may include doctors in primary care, specialist clinics, or other appropriately licensed prescribers. Whether a particular doctor or clinic can prescribe it depends on local regulations, clinical guidelines, and individual clinical judgement. If you have questions about your specific prescription, the best person to ask is your own prescriber or doctor.
What the prescribing process generally involves
Prescribers typically assess factors such as body weight, BMI, existing health conditions, and any medicines you already take before issuing a prescription. Mounjaro is not considered suitable for everyone — suitability is determined on an individual basis by a healthcare professional, not by a general checklist.
Dose and titration
Treatment is usually started at a lower dose and adjusted over time under the guidance of a prescriber. The dose stages available for Mounjaro include 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and 15 mg — but which dose is right for you, and when any adjustment is made, is always a decision for your prescriber. For a broader overview of the medicine, see our guide to Mounjaro.
It is also worth knowing that Mounjaro is currently available only as an injectable pen — there is no oral tablet form of tirzepatide prescribed under this brand name at present. You can read more about Mounjaro tablets and what that means if you have seen that question come up.

Tracking Your Mounjaro Journey Once You Are Prescribed
Being prescribed Mounjaro is the beginning, not the end — staying consistent with your weekly injections, noticing how your body responds, and keeping a clear record for your prescriber appointments all make a real difference to how the journey goes.
GLP Trackr's dose and injection logging is built exactly for this. Every time you take your weekly injection, you can record the dose strength, date, and injection site in seconds. The app tracks your rotation history and suggests your next site automatically, so you never have to mentally retrace where you last injected. Dose reminders mean a weekly shot is much harder to forget — useful when life gets busy.
Beyond injections, the daily check-in lets you log weight, mood, energy levels, and how much food noise you are experiencing, giving you a running picture of how your body is responding week by week. That record is genuinely useful to bring to your next prescriber appointment — far more informative than trying to recall how you felt three weeks ago.
GLP Trackr is free to try for 7 days — download it on the App Store or Google Play and start building your tracking habit from your very first dose.
Any questions about your prescription, dose, or whether Mounjaro is right for you should always be directed to your prescriber or doctor — they have the full picture of your health history and are best placed to advise you.

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.

Frequently asked questions.
In some countries and healthcare settings, doctors in primary care can prescribe Mounjaro, but this depends on local regulations and individual clinical judgement. Whether your own doctor can prescribe it is a question to raise directly with them or your healthcare provider.
Yes. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription-only medicine worldwide. It cannot be obtained without a valid prescription from a licensed prescriber who has assessed your suitability for the treatment.
Dose decisions are made by your prescriber based on your individual circumstances. Treatment typically starts at a lower strength and is adjusted over time. Available strengths include 2.5 mg through to 15 mg — your prescriber decides the right progression for you.
GLP Trackr lets you log every dose, track injection site rotation, set weekly reminders, and record how you feel day to day. It helps you stay consistent and build a clear record to share with your prescriber — all from your phone.
Report any side effects to your prescriber or doctor. You can also report them to your national medicines reporting scheme — for example, the UK's Yellow Card scheme. Check the patient information leaflet that came with your pen for guidance relevant to your country.
