If you are planning to conceive, semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) should be stopped at least 2 months beforehand, whilst other GLP-1 medications require product-specific discontinuation guidancediscuss timing with your healthcare provider

These timeframes are anchored to the trial titration schedule and should be interpreted with caution, as real-world variability may be considerable
