Concerns about the visit or medicine
Know when to pause the process.
Check the person, the prescription route, and the way to get help. A neat webpage is only the start of those checks.
Pause when the answers stay out of reach

Bring pregnancy plans into a medicine discussion
Name pregnancy plans or breastfeeding before discussing a medicine. Have the person treating you walk you through the information for that exact product.
Semaglutide (Ozempic injection) is a peptide medicine used for type 2 diabetes. This use was checked September 26, 2026.
Its label says treatment must end two months or more before the pregnancy you are planning. That label was checked September 17, 2026.
