Can I use this treatment during pregnancy, when trying to conceive, or while breastfeeding?

When to stop, which timelines apply when trying to conceive or after giving birth, and what to do if you become pregnant.

Written by Nick

No. Weight loss medication must not be used during pregnancy. And not while you are breastfeeding either. There is too little research into the safety for your child.

​

I became pregnant during treatment

Stop the medication. Then contact us straight away. Also call your GP or midwife.

​

I want to become pregnant

Stop at least two months before you start trying. Let us know. We will note it in your file and discuss how to go about it.

​

I have just given birth

After giving birth we keep a minimum of six months. You must also no longer be breastfeeding. After that we will look at it with you again.

​

I am breastfeeding

Then we cannot start now. Contact us once you have stopped breastfeeding.

Do you use Mounjaro and take the pill?

Then also read our article on contraception. A separate advice applies there.
