@kaki49 NovoNordisk must have changed their dosage requirements as my endo prescribed .5mg at the beginning, the lowest dosage at that time. Remember, Ozempic is primarily designed for type 2 diabetics usually at 1mg or less. The 2mg weekly dosage for Ozempic is for diabetes and hopefully some weight loss will occur. If you are not a type 2 diabetic, Wegovy is a better choice for weight loss. I don't know the difference in cost between Wegovy and Mounjaro, but there is a patient assistance program available for both conpanies for those who qualify. For me, I never had side effects, however Ozempic may cause constipation for some or many.
