From Ozempic to Mounjaro

With Ozempic in high demand and little to none to go around, and Mounjaro entering the market here in Canada, some or many of you may be considering switching from one to the other. 

Watch This Before Taking Mounjaro

Mounjaro is a GLP-1 / GIP Receptor Agonist – that means it mimics the actions of your body’s naturally produced GLP-1 and GIP hormones.

When these two are used together they seem to have a synergistic effect that makes them better than a GLP-1 RA alone, such as Wegovy.

Watch this week’s video to learn more about Mounjaro.

How to Inject Ozempic

Many of the new Obesity and Diabetes medications coming to market are in the form of an injection.

So, with injections, are some sites better than others? Do we have to use the same injection site all the time? Is there a right way and a wrong way to take these medications?

Ozempic Alternatives

Ozempic and many of the other GLP-1 medications are or are becoming unavailable.

What was primarily a problem for the US of A is now becoming an issue across the globe – here in Canada, it is reaching a new level.

Our supply of Ozempic is dwindling – a new update from Novo Nordisk, the makers of Ozempic, has stated that the shortage will likely last until early 2024.

So, what options do we have available? Are there any at all?
