For oral contraceptive pills: Take your pill at a time of day when nausea is minimal (usually not within 2 hours of your Zepbound injection) If you vomit within 2 hours of taking the pill, treat it as a missed dose (follow package instructions for missed pills) If GI side effects are persistent, consider switching to a non-oral method (patch, ring, IUD, implant, injection) For non-oral contraceptives (patch, ring, IUD, implant, injection): No interaction concern These methods don't rely on GI absorption For barrier methods: No interaction The FDA label for Zepbound states: "Tirzepatide causes a delay in gastric emptying and may impact the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications." This is a general statement about all oral medications, not specific to contraceptives
Some people find it easier to remember an injection if they have to take it every day, whilst others dont like injecting themselves daily and would prefer to administer it once a week
