Women using weight-loss injections are being urged to use effective contraception, following the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)'s first public alert on the use of contraception alongside weight loss and diabetes jabs.
The MHRA issued the warning amid concerns that the medications may not be used safely. There have been previous reports linking the injections to a "baby boom," with some women reporting unexpected pregnancies, dubbed "Ozempic babies," despite using contraception.
