Am I Eligible for Wegovy or Mounjaro?

Am I Eligible for Wegovy or Mounjaro?

Weight loss injections are now a common question across Fulham, Kensington, Putney, Hammersmith, Chelsea, Battersea, and wider West London. Wegovy and Mounjaro offer a new option when diet and exercise alone have not worked. But not everyone qualifies.

What the guidelines say

Guidelines support Wegovy (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) for people with:

  • A body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher
  • A BMI of 27 or higher if they also have weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes

Your eligibility depends on meeting one of these thresholds. BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in metres.

Suitable for a range of health profiles

Wegovy and Mounjaro are approved for adults aged between 18 and 75.

Both injections support weight loss and can help improve blood sugar levels, especially in people living with prediabetes or early-stage type 2 diabetes.

You don’t need a formal diagnosis of diabetes to benefit. Many eligible patients are in good health apart from their weight.

Who should avoid these treatments

Wegovy and Mounjaro are not suitable if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have a history of medullary thyroid cancer or certain endocrine conditions
  • Take certain diabetes medicines that could cause low blood sugar
  • Have a history of pancreatitis
  • Are allergic to any ingredients in the injection

This is why a personalised screening is essential. The Fulham Palace clinical team checks every case carefully before issuing a prescription.

What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, which acts on two gut hormones that regulate appetite and insulin response.

It slows stomach emptying, makes you feel full for longer, and lowers cravings. Clinical trials have shown that many patients lose 15 to 22 per cent of their starting weight over a year.

What is Wegovy?

Wegovy contains semaglutide, which targets one key gut hormone to reduce hunger and increase satiety.

It has helped many patients lose around 15 per cent of their body weight over 68 weeks when used alongside a balanced diet and regular activity.

How to check if you’re eligible

Step 1: Complete the form

Go to the Fulham Palace Pharmacy website and complete the secure online consultation. You’ll answer questions about your health, BMI, lifestyle, and any medicines you currently take.

You’ll be asked to upload photos of your front, back and sides for the pharmacist to assess body composition.

Step 2: Clinical review

Our weight loss clinic team reviews your answers the same day. If we need more information, we may ask you to book a short video consultation with a pharmacist prescriber.

We take time to assess whether the medicine is right for you.

Step 3: Receive your decision

If approved, you choose your preferred strength and complete secure payment. We stock:

  • Mounjaro 2.5mg
  • Mounjaro 5mg
  • Mounjaro 7.5mg
  • Mounjaro 10mg
  • Mounjaro 12.5mg
  • Mounjaro 15mg

Wegovy strengths range from 0.25mg to 2.4mg.

Our team will guide you through the safest starting point based on your weight and tolerance.

Local delivery and ongoing care

Once approved, we prepare your order in pharmacy and dispatch it in a temperature-controlled pouch. Most deliveries in Fulham, Kensington, Hammersmith, Chelsea, Putney and Battersea arrive within 24 hours.

You then become a member of the Fulham Palace Weight Loss Clinic. Our pharmacists are available by phone and email to support you every step of the way.

Tips for success on Wegovy or Mounjaro

Eat regular balanced meals

Protein, fibre and slow-release carbs help regulate appetite. Avoid skipping meals to maintain energy levels.

Drink water throughout the day

Staying hydrated can reduce cravings and support kidney function while on injections.

Move a little each day

A daily walk or cycle through Bishops Park or along the river helps your body adjust and builds momentum.

Log your progress

Track your weight weekly. Note how your clothes fit and how your energy feels.

Be patient

Most people lose weight gradually. Side effects like nausea are mild and often settle in the first few weeks.
