flag Australia warns GLP-1 drugs may cause depression and suicidal thoughts; caution on contraception use.

flag Australia’s drug regulator, the TGA, has issued a safety alert about GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro, warning of possible links to suicidal thoughts, depression, and mood changes. flag Patients are urged to contact their doctor if they experience mental health worsening. flag The TGA also advises those using oral contraceptives to use non-oral or barrier methods for four weeks after starting or increasing the dose, due to potential reduced effectiveness. flag These drugs should not be used during pregnancy, and individuals of childbearing potential must use effective contraception.
