Take a look at this clear, evidence-based guide comparing Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy). Learn the key differences in how they work, their effectiveness for weight loss and diabetes, common side effects, and which might be the better choice for your health journey.
Menopause symptoms, like hot flashes and night sweats can disrupt daily life, but certain foods may help. While no food can actually increase estrogen levels, plant compounds called phytoestrogens in everyday ingredients like soy, flaxseeds, and legumes offer gentle relief during this transition.
When you stop taking semaglutide medications like Ozempic or Wegovy, your body needs about 5 weeks to clear the drug completely. You may experience weight gain, feel more hungry, and other symptoms. If you're taking it for blood sugar control, it can affect that too. So, medical guidance is needed through the transition period. Learn more.
Compounded semaglutide emerged during the Ozempic shortage as a pharmacy-made alternative using the same active ingredient. However, once the drug shortage ended, the FDA heavily restricted the sale of compounded semaglutide, citing safety concerns from inconsistent dosing and a lack of rigorous testing.
Semaglutide medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus can cost over $1,000 monthly without insurance. But manufacturer discount programs and insurance coverage can slash these costs to as low as $10-25 per month for eligible patients. Learn how to access these savings.
