Safety checklist: pregnancy facts differ by medicine

Bring pregnancy plans and breastfeeding into the medicine conversation early. The label facts below describe particular products.

Facts checked on September 17, 2026.

What does the semaglutide label say?

The semaglutide (Ozempic) injection label, checked September 17, 2026, says to stop the medicine two months or more before a planned pregnancy.

Ask the person providing your care how pregnancy plans affect the treatment being considered.

What does the weight-treatment label say?

The semaglutide (Wegovy) label, checked September 17, 2026, says weight loss has no benefit during pregnancy and may harm the fetus, meaning the developing baby.

Ask the person providing your care which product’s information applies to you.

What does the tirzepatide label say?

The tirzepatide (Zepbound) label, checked September 17, 2026, says to stop the medicine once a pregnancy is known.

Its pregnancy wording differs from the semaglutide timing above.

Keep each label attached to its own product. Ask the person providing your medical care for a plan that fits your situation.

What can you ask about breastfeeding?

Ask what is known about the exact medicine during breastfeeding. Ask what is unknown and what other choices are available.

A medicine made to order is called compounded; it has no matching FDA-reviewed pregnancy or breastfeeding information.

FDA is short for Food and Drug Administration, the federal agency in charge of reviewing medicines.

What if you have already started?

If pregnancy, trying to conceive or breastfeeding is relevant now, discuss it with the person providing your medical care.

Ask for the exact product label and a clear answer about the next step.

Source note

Read the individual product labels for the pregnancy wording. Ask the person providing your medical care how that wording applies to your circumstances.
