@@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.
Ive been on Ozempic for 2 months. Im type 2 diabetic. Ive lost 35 lbs in 2 months and havent had insulin in a month. I also Started exercising on day 2 and eat better
@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.
My daughter lost her gallbladder on Ozempic last month after two uses. Was admitted to ER 4x and to the hospital 3 x in only two weeks. She had started Mounjaro on a sample but her insurance co turned her down for refills because she doesn't have diabetes. As of today, she is back on Mounjaro. I guess if you lose an organ, insurance will say yes? Thanks for this information.
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.
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.

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 🙏
Good work sir. This sounds more to me like another form of long duration acting insulin. My question is what of a patient with glucose regulating problems due to excessive fats on the pancreas and liver which prevents the insulin from reaching out . Could mounjaro assist in burning these "organ" fats (in liver and pancreas)?? If it does then, I think we have us more than a miracle medication in this newly found product. Keep the good work.
My doctor wanted to prescribe Trulicity or Ozempic but both are currently back ordered as of 10/14/2022 and are unavailable so I’m starting Victoza in the meantime.

Can you explain why the dosing is the same for everyone regardless of size/weight. This just doesn't make sense to me. I'm a small woman under 5"3 and my husband is 6"2. Yet we would take the same amount? How do the pharmaceutical companies justify that we all start with the same dose?
I started taking Ozempic , and, after about 7 months I stopped “cold Turkey” I was Constantly Nauseated! I just felt bad ! I had lost about 40 lbs, without even trying! I do not recommend this unless you are severely over weight and have a medical dr willing to take the time to make sure the rest of you does it fall apart. This new wonder drug has not been researched enough!
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.
Thank you so much for this information. I am very grateful. I am wondering if you know of any data examining the effect of this type of medication on the histamine system. Many Thanks!
This is really helpful! I'm talking to my doctor about Ozempic last week after having severe nausea on Mounjaro. Here's hoping that Ozempic will be tolerable.
@@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 I tried mounjaro I had bad gastric upset. Severe diarrhea and could hardly drink anything let alone eat solids. This occurred about the 3 rd day. It took me about a week and half to get my GI symptoms under control. I have IBS and type 2 diabetic. I am thinking of starting ozempic. I am hoping since it only works on one part of the GI system and I won’t have the same experience.
Thanks for your information my doctor want to prescribed the mounjaro or ozempic for me but he wants me to think about it before he do so ,anyway am not a diabetic but I need it to loose weight, please what is your suggestion am in the usa and the medicine are so expensive 😀
My doctor prescriibed Mounjaro for me but my insurance denied it and she also prescribed Wegovy but my incurance will not pay for that either. Any ideas on how to get this without costing so much?
But what about semaglutide at 10mg compared to tirzepatide at 10mg? Then wouldn’t that mean that in that case the semaglutide would be more effective for weight loss?
Hello doctor, I was reading ozempic can mess with your kidneys and pancreas, what does mounjaro mess with organ wise and what if you have gastro issues?
Any idea when Mounjaro is EMA approved and EU available? I'll run to the doctor for my father...😅 He's on Ozempic 1 mg right now. Not bad, 8% weight down. But there is also Ozempic 2.0, potentially Wegovy 2.4 or even the whole beautiful Mounjaro series, which I'd prefer, and he has diabetes so it should be ready right away after EMA approval and full stock. Obviously his diabetologist decides and my dad isn't really one to suggest this actively unless I push him.
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!
Third.month on 5mg mounjaro. Im on insulin and while it has brought my sugar down,I still have my appetite and have only lost 4 lbs. How these people are losing 25 lbs in 2 months is beyond me. Plus please let diabetics get these meds first instead of just trying to lose weight There is a shortage.
I had an intestinal bypass,the roux en y one 20 years ago,but have regained around 6 stone. Would I be ok using the mound around to help me get it back off
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
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 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VqMbyvaicu4.html
Ozempic gas messed my gut up after a month on the low dose. IT WAS SCARY AND HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I am going to tey it cinnamon and blood sugar remedies with exercise. It's worth a try 4 me. My depression is lifting so I may b able to accomplish. My Dr now saying munjuro but I am jus not interested right now
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
Hi I was on Wegovy and got up to 1.75 dose before waking up with swollen thyroid. Now have thyroid tumors with left lobe removal and continued monitoring of the right side. Tumors in right side has stabilized since stopping Wegovy. Should I consider this new medication?
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.
I want to switch from Ozempic to Mounjaro how long between the different shots do u think I should wait to take the Mounjaro or Just take it ? I take Ozempic every Sunday . So I was going to take my Mounjaro this upcoming Sunday .
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.
Is it worth it to take a lower dose of GLP-1 with a basal insulin to reduce side effects but get the same blood sugar management - I’ve been on Ozempic 1mg for 8mos now and the fatigue is my biggest issue, I used to run regularly but am struggling on the Ozempic 1mg.
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.
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.
so if someone had side effects with Ozempic and are unable to take it, would Mounjaro be a good alternative? Or worth a try? It's kind of a bummer to not be able to take Ozempic from stomach issues.
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.
@@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.
