Situations Where Weight Loss Injections Are Generally Not Recommended
The following categories reflect guidance from prescribers and official product information. This is general, informational context — your prescriber or doctor is the only person who can determine what is right for your individual circumstances.
Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, or Planning to Conceive
Weight loss injections are generally not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. People planning to conceive are usually advised to stop these medicines in advance of trying, as the effects on an unborn child are not fully established. If your situation changes in any of these ways, contact your prescriber or doctor promptly to discuss your options.
Personal or Family History of Certain Thyroid Conditions
People with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or a condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) are generally considered unsuitable for GLP-1 receptor agonists. Your prescriber will screen for this before prescribing.
History of Pancreatitis
A history of pancreatitis is a factor many prescribers consider carefully. If you have experienced pancreatitis before, be sure your prescriber is aware. For related context, you may also want to read about taking weight loss injections with gallstones, as gallbladder issues are another area requiring close attention.
Certain Allergies or Hypersensitivity
Anyone with a known hypersensitivity to tirzepatide, semaglutide, or any of the excipients in the formulation should not take the respective medicine. The patient information leaflet that comes with your pen lists all ingredients.
Under-18s (in Most Cases)
These medicines are generally not licensed for use in people under 18 unless specifically directed by a prescriber. Suitability in younger age groups is a clinical decision.
Other Conditions Requiring Careful Assessment
A range of other conditions — including certain kidney or liver issues, diabetic retinopathy, or a history of eating disorders — may require additional caution or monitoring. The decision always rests with your prescriber. For a broader overview of who these medicines may or may not be appropriate for, see our guide on whether weight loss injections are right for you, or explore the full weight loss injections hub for more context.
If you have any of the above conditions and are concerned, speak to your prescriber or doctor before making any changes to your treatment.

Already Prescribed? How GLP Trackr Helps You Stay on Top of Your Journey
If your prescriber has determined that a weight loss injection is appropriate for you, staying consistent and tracking how you feel becomes an important part of managing your treatment well. GLP Trackr is built precisely for this.
The app's side-effect tracking feature lets you log symptoms — such as nausea, fatigue, or any other changes you notice — and see patterns over time. This kind of detailed record is genuinely useful to bring to your next prescriber appointment, especially if you want to discuss how your body is responding. You can also log each injection with date, dose strength, and site, so there is always a clear picture of your treatment history to share.
Beyond symptom logging, the daily check-in captures mood, energy, and general wellbeing alongside your physical data — giving you and your prescriber a more complete view of your progress, not just a number on the scale.
Ready to track your journey properly? GLP Trackr is free to try for 7 days — available on the App Store and Google Play. Start your trial and bring something meaningful to your next appointment.
GLP Trackr provides general information and a tracking tool. It is not a substitute for the advice of your prescriber or doctor. If you experience any severe, persistent, or worrying symptoms, contact your healthcare professional promptly. Any questions about your suitability for treatment should always be directed to your prescriber — they know your full medical history.

The Most Advanced GLP-1 Brain Ever Built.
The first AI built exclusively for GLP-1 weight loss. Every insight, every meal plan, every prediction trained on one thing only: helping you get the most out of your medication.
Knows Your Cycle
GLPIQ tracks where you are in your injection cycle and adjusts everything around it: lighter meals on nausea days, higher protein when appetite returns, and smarter targets as your medication level shifts.
Predicts Before You Feel It
GLPIQ learns your personal side effect patterns over time. After a few cycles, it starts warning you the morning before a rough day — and adjusts your meal plan automatically.
Finds Your Golden Dose
GLPIQ analyses every dose you've been on: weight loss rate, side effects, food noise, mood, protein adherence and tells you which dose gave you the best results. No other app does this.

Frequently asked questions.
These medicines are generally not recommended for people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive, those with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, those with known hypersensitivity to the active ingredient, and in most cases people under 18. Your prescriber makes the final suitability decision.
A history of pancreatitis is a factor prescribers consider carefully when assessing suitability. Always make your prescriber or doctor aware of your full medical history before starting or continuing any weight loss injection, so they can make an informed clinical decision.
Weight loss injections such as Mounjaro and Wegovy are generally not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. If you become pregnant or are planning to conceive, contact your prescriber or doctor promptly to discuss what steps to take with your treatment.
Your prescriber will review your full medical history, any existing conditions, current medications, and other individual factors before prescribing. Suitability is an individual clinical judgement — no general checklist replaces that conversation with your own healthcare professional.
Yes. GLP Trackr lets you log side effects, symptoms, and daily wellbeing so you have a detailed record to discuss with your prescriber. The app supports your journey but does not replace clinical advice — always raise concerns directly with your healthcare professional.
