Pregnant women warned against using weight-loss jabs
Published: 6/5/2025

The UK drug safety experts warn pregnant women against using weight-loss injections like Wegovy and Mounjaro due to uncertain effects on unborn babies. Concerns arise over the increasing popularity of 'skinny jabs' leading to unsafe use as many buy them online without proper medical guidance. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency advises women to use contraception while on these medicines and for a certain period post-use, stressing the importance of proper guidance and awareness about the associated risks.
