This is possible, particularly if you're using oral contraception and experience vomiting, nausea, or diarrhoea, as this can affect how well the pill is absorbed. For this reason, a non-oral method (such as condoms) or long-acting reversible contraception (such as coils, implants, or injections) is recommended while taking GLP-1 medications.
For Mounjaro users:
Use a backup method (like condoms) for 4 weeks after starting or increasing the dose.
For Wegovy users:
No backup method is needed unless you have symptoms that affect absorption.
🧠 What should I do next?
Talk to your healthcare provider if you use oral contraception
