What mg are you on? I was just prescribed it 😊

Heyyyyy how's it working for you hun?

Did it take away your libido too?

@@yunekavondetta183 I am on 5mg now on October the 5th I was 184 lbs I weighed on November 11th and I am 167. I have never felt better. I have no appetite and my stomach will not let me eat like I was.

@@yunekavondetta183

Hi is your diabetic is high because my doc said you have tp be in inaulin before you continue in oZempic is that through

@@mariaalbacea1 That HURT ME to even try to read that illegible word vomit

@@BAMA-2019 same here!

How many mg did you use?

​@BAMA 2019 the person's first language is probably not English. You are such a meany. They were asking if the person's diabetes was so bad that it required insulin, because their doctor told them that one has to be an insulin dependent diabetic to qualify for the Ozempic.

Same here used it over a year no weight loss

Third month on mounjaro and only lost 4 lbs on 5 mg. Still have appetite. On insulin and sugar is down

My pleasure!

Sorry to hear about your daughter as well the insurance issues. I hope she feels better. Not a bad idea to still keep an eye on her, even with the Mounjaro, to make sure nothing "crazy" is going on due to the gallbladder issues. Wish you both the best.

@@HealthRX Yes we are eagle-eyed. So far all is well. Thank you for your advice. Much appreciated

Same thing happened to me after being on it for quite a few months. How’s she doing on Mounjaro? I’m thinking about trying that.

According to the Ozempic product label, cholelithiasis (gallstones) was reported in 1.5% and 0.4% of 0.5 mg and 1 mg semaglutide-treated patients, respectively, compared to 0% of patients assigned a placebo. Four acute gallbladder events led to treatment discontinuation. These included 3 events of jaundice, cholelithiasis, and hydrocholecystitis with semaglutide 0.5 mg and 1 report of bile duct stone with placebo.

FDA & Scientific Studies Regarding Ozempic and Acute Gallbladder Disease Association of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist Use With Risk of Gallbladder and Biliary Diseases This meta-analysis studied the link between GLP-1-1 RA treatment with gallbladder and biliary diseases and to explore risk factors for such associations. Researchers used randomized clinical trials to compare the use of GLP-1 RA drugs with placebo or with non-GLP-1 RA drugs in adults. The primary outcome was the composite of gallbladder or biliary diseases. Secondary outcomes were biliary diseases, biliary cancer, cholecystectomy, cholecystitis, and cholelithiasis. The meta-analysis observed an increased risk of cholelithiasis (RR 1.27; 95% CI 1.10-1.47) and cholecystitis (RR 1.36; 95% CI 1.14-1.62) with GLP-1 RAs compared to placebo or active comparator. Researchers concluded that use of GLP-1 RAs was associated with increased risk of gallbladder or biliary diseases, especially when used at higher doses, for longer durations, and for weight loss.

Cholelithiasis in patients treated with Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor: An updated meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials In this meta-analysis, researchers updated existing associations between GLP1-RA and cholelithiasis after the publication of new trials. As a result of the new analysis, researchers identified a significant increased risk of cholelithiasis with GLP-1 RAs (MH-OR 1.28; 95% CI 1.11-1.48) including in sensitivity analysis with continuity correction (MH-OR 1.26; 95% CI 1.10-1.45) compared to placebo or active comparator.

Safety issues with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer and cholelithiasis): Data from randomized controlled trials This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of GLP1-RA on pancreatitis, pancreatic cancers, and cholelithiasis, taking into account the data from recently published cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOT) with GLP1-RA. Although prior meta-analyses did not show significant increase of risk of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer with GLP1-RA, these efforts did not have the benefit of these newer bodies of data. The researchers in this meta-analysis concluded GLP1-RA was safe for pancreatitis, therapy using such drugs indicated an increased risk of cholelithiasis. Read more at Diabetes Obes Metab. Association of Bile Duct and Gallbladder Diseases With the Use of Incretin-Based Drugs in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus This comparative study aimed to identify any associations with the use of DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1 analogues with an increased risk of gallbladder and incident bile duct disease in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes. The study revealed that 853 of 71,369 patients were hospitalized for bile duct and gallbladder disease, and researchers reported that the use of GLP-1 analogues was linked to an increased risk of these illnesses. GLP-1 analogues were also associated with an increased risk of cholecystectomy. Having concluded an increased risk of bile duct and gallbladder disease from the use of GLP-1 analogues, researchers cautioned physicians to be aware of such risks when prescribing these drugs.

That’s awesome. Glad it’s working for you.

Glad it was helpful! Yup! Mounjaro may be worth the shot. All the best.

It’s not working like it used to for me either , I’m now having cravings for food and going for second helpings of food !!😒 I remember, awhile back I used to eat a couple bites and then I was full but now, I’m headed to the kitchen for a second serving. My doc said I probably hit a plateau and recommend me switch to mounjaro. She said it’s stronger and people been having positive results compared to Ozempic. So I wish you the best, hopes it working for you so far. Please keep me posted 🙏

@@HealthRX Hi Doc is MOUNJARO APPROVED now to use and for Australia thx for sharing ok

I have the same problem. I plateaued with Semaglutide but I did lose lots of weight fast. I now am going to try TZP.

Glad you like the videos and thanks for the feedback. It’s encouraging.

Thanks for your kind words and I’m definitely happy you found the video helpful. All the best.

Just try a different type, I am a type II DM on Victosa since 2019. No issues here, other than initial nausea for the first 2-3wks. I actually discontinued for a short while as my hba1c improved significantly but gained 6kg in the pandemic and had to restart in 2021.

My pleasure!

My pleasure.

I had to pay for It out of pocket with the discount card from their website 522 for 4 dose

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Plush care online doctors.. I got.mine that way

How long were you taking mounjaro?

@@Zarian_Republic I have been on Manjuro since October 2022

Lose*

I haven’t seen any specific study on that specific subject, but I’ll be sure to make a video on it if there is anything special. Thanks for watching.

@@HealthRX Thank you for your reply - I very much appreciate it.

There's is a cancer warning in the side effects .

@@Darren-vw8ov I heard for thyroid if you have issue with thyroid?

Just says it's caused thyroid cancer in rats and if you get any lumps in your neck get it checked .

@@Darren-vw8ov right, correct.

Routing for you. All the best.

How long were you on Mounjaro? My extreme symptoms only lasted 2 weeks. It was rough but worth it.

@@Petolean I was moderately ill on 4 weeks of 2.5 but it was tolerable with OTC meds. I made it through 2 weeks on 5mg before I ended up in the ER with severe nausea. Even after skipping my 3rd dose I was still sick for another week with at least daily phenergren or zofran and unable to work a full day. This would have been my 4th week on 5mg if I had stayed, and I'm just now back to "normal." I go back to my doctor Wednesday to talk about the possibility of Ozempic or other meds.

So doctor stated that GI side effects comes from the pill not from the injection can anyone elaborate? My GI is very sensitive to meds.

@@mbienes1 I have had notable side effects from the injection. I've never tried a pill, but I have had GI symptoms from other pill based medications.

I've had the same procedure and have been on Ozempic for a year. I didn't have much weighloss with Ozempic so I'm now trying Mourjano. The side effects are same as how us gastric bypass ppl eat. I believe your body will warn you with nausea if you overeat otherwise I did okay with Ozempic. I pray its the same with this medication

I am looking forward to it being available in the EU. I am type II DM doesn't need to lose significant weight only about 3kg. But will like to try for my HBA1C. I am hoping to switch from Victosa to Trulicity now. I think it may not be available in the EU until late this year or early next year!

Not that I have heard of.

Thanks.

It theoretically can as anything that causes rapid weight loss has the potential to cause hair loss as well. I explain it in detail here - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNd9ldynxs_HpWg.html

Sorry to hear about your struggles. Yes, it's possible to combine a basal insulin and a GLP-1. There is actually a product that combines both in 1 injection, Soliqua. So theoretically, it is possible to do what you are thinking, but your doctor will have to make the best call for you based on your specific situation. All the best.

I heard some people say to take it before bed

Try taking it in the evening, I take victosa in the evening and side effects not as bad, other than occasional constipation. GLP-1 RA can be combined with basal insulin. Even some type 1 with insulin resistance has been prescribed GLP-1 RA, and this has been shown to reduce insulin requirements

I would like to know as well from him. I'm almost certain the med spas which specialize in weight loss use Ozempic possibly among other medications etc.

@@twitterblackdove ozempic is one of them that they give at a small dosage for obesity but depending on your insurance coverage

@@twitterblackdove my endocrinologist just told me yes at a low dose

Yes lots of people using it for weight loss and not diabetic

@@shea88barbie yeah true

You need to discuss with your doctor, but all the Medications in this class have the same warning if increased risk of thyroid cancer, so I’ll proceed extremely cautiously.

How long were you on the wegovy?

They have their issues or side effects and warnings, but they are not stimulants and Ozempic for example is proven to significantly lower the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in people with type 2 diabetes and known heart disease.

Surely not stimulants at all. I have been on Ozempic for couple months and haven’t had issues with my heart as compared with a stimulant Phentermine which truly messes with the heart

Doctor.

Double check with your doctor, but your plan is what is generally recommended. Have a specific video on the subject coming out in by tomorrow or the next day, so be on the lookout. All the best.

The side effect profiles are quite similar, but since they are not identical molecules, it is theoretically possible that your response may be different to Mounjaro. Unless your side effects to Ozempic were very serious/life threatening, it may still be worth the shot, if ultimately, your doctor agrees.

I was okay at .25. When I went to ,5 I had horrible stomach cramps with diarrhea. Not even able to work. So sadly I stopped taking.

@@Laura-sn7mh you can’t eat what you want anymore. Add in omega 3’s so things slide through your system better. The goal is to keep food moving through your system. Fried foods will sit in your stomach causing bloating, cramping ect.

@@Chillboyx I’m on less than 20 carbs a day. No fruit or sugar. So definitely no fried food. I went back to .25 after. 3 weeks break. And so far so good 😁

I’ve done great on Ozempic. My brother and sis-in-law had terrible side effects. They had to stop. They just started on Mounjaro about 6 weeks ago and are doing amazing. No side effects and dropping weight.

7 figures 😉
