Frequently asked question

Can men take Mounjaro?

Yes. Mounjaro can be prescribed to eligible adult men when a qualified prescriber finds it appropriate. Being male does not by itself qualify or disqualify you.

An assessment is still needed

Tirzepatide has specific licensed uses, suitability criteria, warnings and interactions. Diabetes treatment and weight-management prescribing are different questions. Eligibility, supply and follow-up must be assessed; the medicine should not be borrowed or bought from an unverified seller.

What you can do next

Discuss your health history and current medicines with a qualified prescriber. SHIFT does not currently prescribe or supply Mounjaro.
