Medicines that contain tirzepatide, including those authorised for diabetes or other conditions, are prescription-only in Ireland. They can only be supplied by a licensed pharmacy when a valid prescription has been issued by a doctor who is registered with the Irish Medical Council (IMC). Whether a medicine is appropriate for any individual is determined solely by the prescribing clinician, following a personal medical assessment. Prescribers may take into account a range of clinical factors such as medical history, co-existing conditions, previous treatments, and other patient-specific considerations. Monj.ie does not provide medical advice and cannot assess suitability for any treatment.   Anyone seeking information about whether a particular medicine may be appropriate for them should speak directly with a registered doctor or pharmacist.

If a doctor prescribes any injectable medicine, they or your pharmacist will explain how to use the specific device.  Prescription medicines always include a patient information leaflet with instructions for use.  If you are ever unsure, speak directly with a registered healthcare professional. Do not rely on online instructions.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculation that relates weight to height and is sometimes used by healthcare professionals as one of many factors when assessing general health.  For prescription-only medicines, including those used in diabetes or weight management, any decision about suitability is made solely by a registered doctor following an individual clinical assessment.  If you have questions about how BMI relates to your own care, a GP or pharmacist can provide personalised medical advice.

The information on Monj.ie is based on community-submitted data and publicly available details from licensed providers. We review submissions before publishing them, and entries include the date they were last updated so users can see how recent they are. Because fees and processes can change, all information on the site should be treated as general reference only. Users should always verify current details directly with the relevant provider. If you notice information that may need updating, you are welcome to let us know so it can be reviewed.

In Ireland, prescription-only medicines are subject to strict rules around advertising and promotion to the public. Because of this, Monj.ie aims to: present information in a factual, neutral way avoid promotional or persuasive language focus on transparency rather than recommendation The goal is to provide useful, practical information while staying within appropriate regulatory boundaries. This is also why: the site does not promote specific providers imagery is kept neutral and non-clinical language avoids claims or endorsements
