Mounjaro and Wegovy — the clinical programme
We prescribe Mounjaro (tirzepatide, dual GLP-1/GIP, NICE TA1026) and Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4mg, NICE TA875). Eligibility: BMI ≥30 or ≥27.5 with a comorbidity, with the 2.5-point lower threshold for South Asian, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Black African and African-Caribbean adults (NICE CG189). SURMOUNT-1 showed ~21% weight loss on Mounjaro at 72 weeks; STEP-1 showed ~15% on Wegovy at 68 weeks. We escalate Mounjaro 2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15mg weekly; Wegovy 0.25 → 0.5 → 1 → 1.7 → 2.4mg weekly. We follow MHRA Drug Safety Updates.
Eccles patient profile
Eccles has a long-standing diabetic and metabolic-risk population. Many of our Eccles patients arrive already on metformin or other oral antidiabetics; we coordinate where possible with your GP, particularly when stepping down sulphonylureas as Mounjaro takes effect (hypoglycaemia risk). For long-term metformin users we screen B12 — see our Eccles B12 page.
Baseline bloods
Before any first prescription we recommend a baseline panel — HbA1c, U&E, LFTs, TSH/T3/T4, lipid profile, vitamin D — via our Eccles blood tests service, UKAS-accredited lab, 24–48-hour results, IP-annotated. We repeat at 6 months.
