Can I use Mounjaro while trying to conceive?

No. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) should not be used if you are trying to conceive, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding. If you are planning a pregnancy, it should be stopped in advance because it stays in the body for a while. If you become pregnant while taking it, stop and contact your prescriber promptly for advice.

Key points:

• Do not use Mounjaro when trying to conceive, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding due to limited human safety data and findings from animal studies.
• Stop Mounjaro at least 1 month before a planned pregnancy.
• If pregnancy occurs while using Mounjaro, stop it and speak to a healthcare professional promptly.
• Mounjaro can reduce the effectiveness of oral hormonal contraception. If you use the pill, use a barrier method (e.g., condoms) for 4 weeks after starting and for 4 weeks after each dose increase, or consider a non-oral contraceptive method.
