How long before trying to get pregnant should I stop Mounjaro?

You should stop taking Mounjaro at least one month before trying to get pregnant. This recommendation comes from UK bodies like the MHRA and NHS, as the drug takes about 4 weeks to clear from your body. Some doctors suggest two months for extra caution, but one month is the standard UK guidance.

Key points:

• Mounjaro is not recommended during pregnancy due to lack of human safety data.
• The drug remains in the body for several weeks after the last dose.
• UK regulators advise stopping it at least one month before trying to conceive.
• Effective contraception is needed while taking Mounjaro for weight loss.
