Health officials warn pregnant women about risks of weight-loss injections

Women using weight-loss injections like Wegovy and Mounjaro are advised to stop if trying for a baby, pregnant, or breastfeeding due to unknown risks to the fetus. Experts highlight concerns over safe use, especially as many women acquire these drugs without proper medical guidance, risking unintended pregnancies and potential harm. The UK regulator recommends contraception during and after treatment, but access issues complicate safe practices.
