Weight Loss Injections and HRT

Weight loss injections such as Wegovy/Mounjaro may reduce the absorption of oral HRT treatment. If this applies to you, it may be best changing to HRT through the skin such as patches or gel whilst on this medication. If you wish to remain on oral HRT you may need a dose adjustment. Please contact the surgery via our triage form to discuss this further. Please promptly report any unscheduled bleeding.
