Flu doesn’t just knock you down – it spreads fast and hits our most vulnerable the hardest. The best defense this winter is simple: get your flu vaccine and its free for everyone this May and June.

Vaccination is a safe, proven way to protect yourself, your loved ones, and our WA community from serious illness. When more of us are vaccinated, there’s less chance for flu to spread – which also helps protect people who are too young or too unwell to get the vaccine themselves.

A quick appointment now means a healthier winter for everyone. Let’s keep WA well.

⚠️ Product warnings updated for GLP-1 RA class⚠️

*Content advice – this post contains reference to su***de*

We have updated the product warnings for GLP-1 and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists for two separate safety issues.

This relatively new and high-profile class of medicines is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or obesity.

Medicines in the GLP-1 RA class currently marketed in Australia are:
• Ozempic (semaglutide)
• Wegovy (semaglutide)
• Saxenda (liraglutide)
• Trulicity (dulaglutide)
• Mounjaro (tirzepatide)

1. Potential risk of suicidal thoughts
Product warnings across the GLP-1 RA class of medicines have been aligned to ensure consistent information regarding the potential risk of suicidal thoughts or behaviours.

The updates follow investigations by TGA and other international regulators.

Patients taking any of these medicines should tell their health professional if they experience new or worsening depression, suicidal thoughts or any unusual changes in mood or behaviour.

If you or anyone you know needs help, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

2. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and contraception
Our investigation into the potential for reduced effectiveness of oral contraception when first taking or increasing the dose of Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has found that this association could not be ruled out.

As a precautionary measure, the product warnings for tirzepatide have been updated to include further advice for patients using oral contraceptives. Patients taking tirzepatide are advised to switch to a non-oral contraceptive or add a barrier method of contraception for 4 weeks after first taking the medicine and for 4 weeks after each increase in the dose.

None of the GLP-1 RAs should be used during pregnancy and individuals of childbearing potential are advised to use effective contraception during treatment with a GLP-1 RA.

🌿Your potting mix may have mulch more than expected! 🌿
While you're planting joy in your garden, don’t forget to protect yourself. Potting mix, compost, and soil can contain Legionella bacteria, which cause Legionnaires’ disease, a serious lung infection. 🧤 Garden safely:
✅ Wear gloves and a mask
✅ Open bags away from your face
✅ Dampen mix to reduce dust
✅ Wash hands after gardening
If you feel unwell with fever, cough, or shortness of breath after gardening, see your doctor. Let’s keep gardening safe and blooming this spring 🌼
