Women using weight-loss jabs have been warned by the UK's medicines regulator that they must use effective contraception.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) says it is not known whether taking the medicines, such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, could harm an unborn baby.
It also warns that weight-loss jabs may make the contraceptive pill less likely to work in those who are overweight or obese.
There are concerns that the growing popularity of 'skinny jabs' means many women aren't using the drugs safely or getting the right advice.
It's thought the contraceptive pill may not be absorbed properly due to common side-effects of the jabs such as vomiting and diarrhoea, and because they slow the emptying of the stomach.
