How Eligibility for Weight Loss Injections Is Generally Assessed
Because Mounjaro and Wegovy are prescription-only medicines, a qualified prescriber must evaluate whether they are suitable before they can be provided. The specific thresholds and criteria vary between countries and healthcare settings, so what follows is a general, worldwide-neutral overview rather than a guide to any one system.
Common factors a prescriber considers
- BMI: Many clinical frameworks reference a minimum BMI — often around 30 kg/m², or a lower threshold (sometimes around 27 kg/m²) if weight-related health conditions are also present. Your prescriber will apply the criteria relevant to your situation.
- Weight-related health conditions: Conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or raised cholesterol may be taken into account alongside BMI.
- Previous weight-management attempts: Prescribers may consider whether dietary changes, increased physical activity, or other interventions have already been tried.
- Medical history and contraindications: Certain conditions — including a personal or family history of specific thyroid tumours, pancreatitis, or pregnancy — may affect suitability. These are medical judgements for your prescriber alone.
Who decides?
Suitability is always an individual clinical decision. No online tool, app, or article can tell you whether you qualify — only your prescriber or doctor can do that. If you have questions about whether you remain eligible for continued treatment, that conversation belongs with your healthcare professional.
For a broader overview of how these medicines are used, see our guide to weight loss injections. You may also find it useful to read about what a weight loss jab is and how it works, or to understand the context around Mounjaro as a weight loss jab.

How GLP Trackr Supports Your Journey Once You Are Prescribed
Once your prescriber has confirmed eligibility and you begin injections, staying consistent and informed becomes the day-to-day priority. GLP Trackr is built specifically to help with that.
Injection-site tracking and rotation
The app logs each injection — recording the site (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm), the date, and the dose strength — and uses that history to suggest your next rotation site automatically. Rotating sites is a standard part of using these medicines, and having a clear record means you never have to guess or rely on memory.
Dose reminders and logging
Because these are once-weekly injections, a missed dose is easy to overlook. GLP Trackr sends gentle reminders and keeps a full dose log so your schedule stays on track. If you do miss a dose, the app can log it so you have an accurate record to discuss with your prescriber — any decision about what to do next belongs with them, not with an app.
Side-effect tracking
Many people experience nausea, fatigue, or digestive changes, especially in the earlier weeks. Logging how you feel over time helps you spot patterns and brings a useful, organised record to your prescriber appointments. If you are concerned about supply or availability, our page on weight loss jab shortages covers what to be aware of.
If any side effect feels severe, persistent, or worrying, contact your healthcare professional promptly. GLP Trackr helps you record what you experience so you can discuss it clearly — it is not a substitute for clinical advice, and any concern about your treatment should always go back to your prescriber or doctor.

The Most Advanced GLP-1 Brain Ever Built.
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.
Knows Your Cycle
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.
Predicts Before You Feel It
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.
Finds Your Golden Dose
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.
Eligibility is determined by your prescriber or doctor based on your individual health profile — including BMI, any weight-related conditions, and your medical history. No website or app can make that assessment; only a qualified healthcare professional can.
Many clinical frameworks reference a BMI of around 30 kg/m² or above, or a lower threshold if weight-related health conditions are also present. Exact criteria vary by country and healthcare setting, so your prescriber will apply the thresholds relevant to your situation.
Yes. Certain conditions — such as a personal or family history of specific thyroid tumours, a history of pancreatitis, or pregnancy — may affect suitability. These are individual clinical judgements that only your prescriber or doctor can make after reviewing your full medical history.
If you are already prescribed the medicine, your prescriber has assessed it as appropriate for you. Ongoing suitability is reviewed at follow-up appointments. If your circumstances change, discuss this with your healthcare professional rather than adjusting treatment yourself.
GLP Trackr lets you log each injection, track rotation sites, set dose reminders, and record side effects over time. It helps you stay consistent and build a clear record to share with your prescriber — available free to try for 7 days on iOS and Android.
