It's recommended to use a non-oral or long-acting method like an implant, coil, or injection while taking GLP-1s.
For tirzepatide (Mounjaro) users:
Use a backup method (like condoms) for 4 weeks after starting or increasing the dose.
For semaglutide (Wegovy) and similar medications:
No backup method is needed unless you have symptoms that affect absorption.
