WLI for teenagers??

I have read that WLI (except for Mounjaro) are licensed for people who are 12+.

my 16 year old wants to try them. but it doesn't seem possible to get it through an online service unless you are 18+. The GP wouldn't prescribe it on the NHS would they

is it a case of it is licensed for under 18s but in fact there isn't a route to get it until you are 18, in the UK?

I’m sure there was a poster who said their 16 year old son was prescribed Mounjaro by their endocrinologist. Maybe enquire through their GP, I doubt the GP would prescribe it but they could advise as to if it was possible through a referral elsewhere etc

@Time4changeagain thanks for replying. I have sent a message to GP to ask them this morning, so we will see
