Weight Loss Injections and the Pill: Safety Explained

Are you taking weight loss injections (also used in the treatment of diabetes)?

These injections can STOP the oral contraceptive pill from working correctly (both combined and progesterone only), which could put you at risk of unwanted pregnancy. For more information and advice regarding contraception while on these injections please submit a PATCHS consultation for personalised advice from a clinician.
