GLP-1 Drugs Causing Arrythmias

@deniseheart I’m on the lowest dose. .5

@kpryor1982 thank you for your reply. I am on a lower dose, 2.5.

@deniseheart maybe go down. I’ve lost 31 pounds in 6 weeks on the lowest dose possible. If you’re having bad pvcs. I’m still getting them on the lowest dose so I’m contemplating this being my last month on them. I don’t know. I need the weight loss and I may still have the pvcs after. I’ve had them a while. Just not this bad.

@kpryor1982 dosing for Tirzepatide is as follows: 2.5mg 5.mg 7.5mg 10mg. 12.5mg or 15mg. I am on the 2.5mg dose and all is well but no weight loss yet. I will give this dose another week to see if it kicks in. Very happy to know that you had great success on the 5.mg dosing.

I have been taking Ozempic for 6 months with no issues but have recently switch to Mounjaro which has been more effective for most. The GLP type drugs are the most likely to increase HDL and lower triglycerides and that is why they are good for heart health overall.

There are people having problems with the injectable GLP drugs are primarily those injecting into the stomach and not those injecting into an arm or leg.

I have switched most of my heart medications but sticking to the same type, as with the Metoprolol beta blocker that I switched to taking another beta blocker, Bisoprolol. I am switching from the statin rosuvastin to Lipitor as the former has a significant drug to drug interaction with Ticagrelor. I switched to Ticagrelor as Plavix/clopidogrel with rosuvastin increases the AUC by 2.5 fold.

With multiple drugs one is much more dependent on their cardiologist and this unfortunately is not a solution as doctors very seldom in my own experience are sufficiently diligent and tend to hope for the best.

I have needed to spend days doing the research on my own but as my life is important to me the effort is not something I would consider not doing.
