The UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has issued a warning regarding the use of popular weight loss injections, including Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro. Women using these injections are advised to utilize effective contraception due to potential risks of unintended pregnancies, which could lead to complications for both the mother and fetus. Mounjaro, in particular, may diminish the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and women should employ additional methods of contraception. Furthermore, those who become pregnant while on these medications should discontinue use immediately, raising concerns about potential harm to unborn children.
The MHRA urged women using weight loss injections like Ozempic and Wegovy to use effective birth control due to their potential risks to pregnant women and unborn babies.
Mounjaro's effectiveness in suppressing appetite may actually reduce the efficacy of oral contraceptives, prompting a recommendation for women to double up methods if they rely on The Pill.
