Welcome to Taiglum Medical Practice

Mounjaro Prescribing by GPs

You may have read in the news that GP Practices can now issue GLP-1 injections, such as Mounjaro for weight loss. This guidance applies to GP Practices in England only. Current guidance from NHS Scotland is that GP Practices can still not prescribe GLP-1 medication for weight loss. If you are looking to discuss GLP-1 medication for weight loss, you will need to arrange an appointment with a private clinic that can support this service. Currently, none of the GPs within Taiglum Medical Practice are able to advise or prescribe GLP-1 medications for the purposes of weight loss under the current NHS Scotland guidelines.
