Interesting Dosages of Semaglutide between Three Brands

1. What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide, sold under the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus.Semaglutide is a synthetic derivative based on the naturally occurring GLP-1peptide, which is known for its ability to reduce blood sugar levels and enhance insulin secretion. Recent research suggests that Semaglutide may also have positive effects on heart, liver, and lung function. And it could potentially slow down or prevent the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

2. How does Semaglutide work?

Semaglutide works as a GLP-1 agonist, meaning it mimics the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body. GLP-1 is naturally released by the intestines in response to food intake and plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite.

When semaglutide is injected, it binds to and activates GLP-1 receptors on various cells in the body, including pancreatic cells. This activation leads to several beneficial effects. First, semaglutide increases insulin release from the pancreas, which helps lower blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy. Increased insulin also helps to reduce the production of glucose by the liver. Second, semaglutide suppresses the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. By reducing glucagon levels, semaglutide further contributes to the overall control of blood sugar.

3. Benefits of Semaglutide

Improved blood sugar control. Semaglutide, as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, helps regulate blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It stimulates insulin release from the pancreas, which leads to better glucose utilization by the body’s cells. By reducing glucagon secretion and slowing down gastric emptying, semaglutide helps lower blood sugar levels and maintain better glycemic control.

Weight loss. Semaglutide has been found to promote weight loss when used for weight management in individuals with obesity or excess weight. By suppressing appetite and inducing a feeling of fullness, it can help reduce calorie intake and contribute to sustainable weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.

Cardiovascular risk reduction. In individuals with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease, semaglutide (specifically Ozempic) has been shown to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke. This benefit can provide additional protection to individuals with both diabetes and cardiovascular conditions.

Potential benefits in cognition. Semaglutide has shown potential benefits in improving cognitive function, particularly in individuals with mildl cognitive impairment or mild dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease. It has been found to protect against amyloid-ß plaques, which are associated with cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease. Preclinical studies and ongoing clinical trials are evaluating semaglutide’s impact onl cognitive function. Results from these trials will provide more information about semaglutide’s effectiveness in improving cognitive abilities in Alzheimer’s disease.

4. Side effects of Semaglutide

Side effects from semaglutide injection might occur. If any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away, let your doctor know right once:

Vomiting

Nausea

Diarrhea

abdominal pain

Constipation

Heartburn

Burping

5. Dosages of Semaglutide (For Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus)

(1) Ozempic (semaglutide injection):

Initial Dose: 0.25 mg subcutaneously once weekly for 4 weeks.

Maintenance Dose: After the initial 4 weeks, increase the dose to 0.5 mg subcutaneously once weekly.

Further Dose Adjustment: If glycemic control is not achieved after at least 4 weeks on the 0.5 mg dose, the dose can be increased to 1 mg once weekly.

Maximum Dose: If needed, the dose can be further increased to 2 mg once weekly, but it should not exceed 2 mg per week.

(2) Rybelsus (oral semaglutide tablets):

Initial Dose: 3 mg orally once daily for 30 days (intended for treatment initiation, not for glycemic control).

Maintenance Dose: After 30 days on the 3 mg dose, increase the dose to 7 mg orally once daily.

Further Dose Adjustment: If additional glycemic control is needed, the dose can be increased to 14 mg orally once daily.

Note: Taking two 7 mg tablets to achieve the 14 mg dose is not recommended.

(3) Switching between Ozempic and Rybelsus:

Switching from Rybelsus to Ozempic: Start with 0.5 mg subcutaneously once weekly on the day after the last Rybelsus dose.

Switching from Ozempic to Rybelsus: Start with 7 mg or 14 mg orally once daily, up to 7 days after the last Ozempic injection. There is no equivalent oral dose for the 1 mg Ozempic dose.

We all know to stop eating at least 8 hours before surgery. This precaution is required to prevent airway complications such as aspiration during surgery by making sure your stomach is empty. However, if you are taking one of the new, popular weight loss drugs like semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus or Wegovy), we are learning 8 hours may not be enough time for your stomach to empty. Experts are now recommending stopping semaglutide and other similar diabetic/weight loss drugs from days to weeks before any elective procedure to prevent possible severe surgical complications.

One of the effects of semaglutide is delayed stomach emptying. This means food can stay in your stomach for days instead of the usual hours. Even with a day of not eating, the stomach can still be full, increasing the risk of aspiration and pneumonia during surgery. 

Moreover, semaglutide has a half-life of about one week. This means only half the drug is out of your system in a week. The article acknowledges that there are currently no guidelines for the timing of stopping GLP-1 medications before surgery. They propose holding GLP-1 medications four weeks prior to a scheduled procedure when feasible and considering full stomach precautions.

Weight loss medications can be life changing. For patients who are significantly overweight and have failed other weight loss methods, such as diet and exercise, it can even be life saving. But stopping GLP-1 agonists before elective surgery is critical and must be carefully planned to avoid complications during surgery.  If you have lost weight with the use of semaglutide or another GLP-1 receptor agonist  and are considering a Tummy Tuck or other skin tightening procedures, inform your surgeon of all current and recent medications, supplements and over-the-counter meds. No matter how well trained and experienced, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon still needs all the information to make your surgery safe and predictable.

Can I Use an HSA to Pay for Weight Loss Treatment?

Health saving account (HSA) benefits are often provided by employers, and an HSA is a tax-free way to save money for healthcare expenses. These accounts are especially helpful in paying for healthcare expenses not covered by traditional insurance.

While HSA funds can be used for a wide variety of medical costs, they can't be used for everything. If you’re trying to lose weight, you may be wondering if weight loss treatments can be paid for using HSA funds.

Does Your Weight Loss Support Your Health?

For most medical expenses, the matter of whether it is eligible for HSA fund usage or not comes down to whether the treatment or product supports your overall health. In the case of losing weight, weight loss treatments like Rybelsus (semaglutide) may be a beneficial part of a medical treatment plan supported by your doctor.

If you plan to use HSA funds to pay for this medication, Rybelsus weight loss cost factors are mitigated because your doctor will need to prescribe Rybelsus, meaning it is accepted that the medication is a part of supporting your overall health.

Using HSA Funds for Supportive Therapies

Although you can mitigate Rybelsus weight loss cost factors by being prescribed the drug and using HSA funds to pay for your prescription, you may also be able to use HSA funds for additional supportive therapies. In combination with medications, regular exercise and proper nutrition are important.

HSA funds may be able to help pay for nutrition counseling if your diet has been a challenge, and you may also be able to pay for physical therapy coaching if you have medical challenges that prevent you from getting regular exercise. To learn more about your HSA plan and funds availability, talk to your human resources manager at work if you have an employer-sponsored HSA. If you have a private HSA, contact your plan manager for more details.

Disclaimer: The above is offered for informational purposes and is not a substitute for medical or financial advice. Before making any changes to your diet, exercise routine, or medications, you are highly encouraged to talk to your doctor.

Because my most popular post is about weight loss and how it's a crock, I get a lot of questions about various things, including bariatric surgery--just posted the link to the post I did about that--but also Ozempic/Wegovy, the once-weekly injectable semaglutide medication that was developed for diabetes but was found to have independent benefits on weight loss.

I always said that weight loss was like Viagra: when a medication came along that actually worked, it would explode. We'd all hear about it. Fen-phen in the 90s worked, but it was bad for your heart. Stimulants, like meth, may cause weight loss, but they do it at the cost of heart health, and raise your likelihood of dying young. Over the counter weight loss supplements often contain illegal and unlisted thyroid hormone, which is also dangerous for the heart if taken in the absence of a real deficiency. Orlistat, or "Alli," works the same way as the Olestra chips Lays made in the 1990s--it shuts off your ability to digest fats, and the problem with that is that fats irritate the gut, so then you end up with fatty diarrhea and probably sharts. Plus Alli only leads to 8-10lbs of weight loss in the best case scenario, and most people are not willing to endure sharts for the sake of 8lbs.

And then came the GLP-1 agonists. GLP stands for glucagon-like peptide. Your body uses insulin to make cells uptake sugar. You can't just have free-floating sugar and use it, it has to go into the cells to be used. So if your body sucks at moving sugar into the cells, you end up with a bunch of glucose hanging out in places where it shouldn't be, depositing on small vessels, damaging nerves and your retinas and kidneys and everywhere else that has a whole lot of sensitive small blood vessels, like your brain.

Glucagon makes your liver break down stored sugars and release them. You can think of it as part of insulin's supporting cast. If your body needs sugar and you aren't eating it, you aren't going to die of hypoglycemia, unless you've got some rare genetic conditions--your liver is going to go, whoops, here you go! and cough it up.

But glucagon-like peptide doesn't act quite the same way. What glucagon-like peptide does is actually stimulating your body to release insulin. It inhibits glucagon secretion. It says, we're okay, we're full, we just ate, we don't need more glucagon right now.

This has been enough for many people to both improve blood sugar and cause weight loss. Some patients find they think about food less, which can be a blessing if you have an abnormally active hunger drive, or if you have or had an eating disorder.

However, every patient I've started on semaglutide in any form (Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus) has had nausea to start with, probably because it slows the rate of stomach emptying. And that nausea sometimes improves, and sometimes it doesn't. There's some reports out now of possible gastroparesis associated with it, which is where the stomach just stops contracting in a way that lets it empty normally into the small intestine. That may not sound like a big deal, but it's a lifelong ticket to abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting, and we are not good at treating it. We're talking Reglan, a sedating anti-nausea but pro-motility agent, which makes many of my patients too sleepy to function, or a gastric pacemaker, which is a relatively new surgery. You can also try a macrolide antibiotic, like erythromycin, but I have had almost no success in getting insurance to cover those and also they have their own significant side effects.

Rapid weight loss from any cause, whether illness, medication, or surgery, comes with problems. Your skin is not able to contract quickly. It probably will, over long periods of time, but "Ozempic face" and "Ozempic butt" are not what people who want to lose weight are looking for. Your vision of your ideal body does not include loose, excess skin.

The data are also pretty clear that you can't "kick start" weight loss with Ozempic and then maintain it with behavioral mechanisms. If you want to maintain the weight loss, you need to stay on the medication. A dose that is high enough to cause weight loss is significantly higher than the minimum dose where we see improvements in blood sugar, and with a higher dose comes higher risk of side effects.

I would wait on semaglutide. I would wait because it's been out for a couple of years now but with the current explosion in popularity we're going to see more nuanced data on side effects emerging. When you go from Phase III human trials to actual use in the world, you get thousands or millions more data points, and rare side effects that weren't seen in the small human trials become apparent. It's why I always say my favorite things for a drug to be are old, safe, and cheap.

I also suspect the oral form, Rybelsus, is going to get more popular and be refined in some way. It's currently prohibitively expensive--all of these are; we're talking 1200 or so bucks a month before insurance, and insurance coverage varies widely. I have patients who pay anything from zero to thirty to three hundred bucks a month for injectable semaglutide. I don't think I currently have anyone whose insurance covers Rybelsus who could also tolerate the nausea. My panel right now is about a thousand patients.

There are also other GLP-1 agonists. Victoza, a twice-daily injection, and Trulicity, and anything else that ends in "-aglutide". But those aren't as popular, despite being cheaper, and they aren't specifically approved for weight loss.

Mounjaro is a newer one, tirzepatide, that acts on two receptors rather than one. In addition to stimulating GLP-1 receptors, it also stimulates glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. It may work better; I'm not sure whether that's going to come with a concomitantly increased risk of side effects. It's still only approved for diabetes treatment, but I suspect that will change soon and I suspect we'll see a lot of cross-over in terms of using it to treat obesity.

I don't think these medications are going away. I also don't think they're right for everyone. They can reactivate medullary thyroid carcinoma; they can fuck up digestion; they may lead to decreased quality of life. So while there may be people who do well with them, it is okay if those people are not you. You do not owe being thin to anyone. You most certainly do not owe being thin to the extent that you should risk your health for it. Being thin makes navigating a deeply fat-hating world easier, in many ways, so I never blame anyone for wanting to be thin; I just want to emphasize that it is okay if you stay fat forever.

Stuff abt Meet The Grahams you probably didn’t know:

The whole song is in A Minor

The beard lyric hints towards the slang term for a “beard” which is a person who marries someone with intention to hide their sexuality. He’s saying Drake grew a beard literally and figuratively - in the fact he’s hiding his attraction to kids.

When Kendrick told Adonis never to let a man piss on his leg, he was referring to when one of TI’s friend pissed on Drake’s leg. Drake didn’t do anything abt it.

The piano is sampled from Big Shot by Billy Joel and the bass line is from Sly and the Family Stone, which it’s been said that Drake’s Uncle played in allegedly

In the picture used for the thumbnail, they’re perceptions for Rybelsus, the pill version of Ozempic, and Zoldipem, a date rape drug that’s used to treat insomnia. Both are in Drake’s legal name. (Edit: The reason why Ozempic is such a controversial thing for Drake specifically is because he has continually denied having surgery or taken anything that resulted in his weight loss/ sudden appearance in abs while also shitting on those who have. Hypocrite to the max.)

Kendrick said “get more paper” three times. This is a reference to the fact Drake got a DNA test for Adonis three times just to make sure he was his son. Might also be telling Drake’s dad to get his own DNA test but I’m not sure.

Medicines in the same class as Novo Nordisk's popular weight-loss therapy Wegovy may carry an increased risk of pancreatitis, intestinal blockage and stomach paralysis compared to an older obesity drug, according to a study published on Thursday. The study focused on two drugs from the class known as GLP-1 inhibitors, which help lower blood sugar levels for people with Type 2 diabetes: semaglutide is the active ingredient in Wegovy as well as Novo's diabetes drugs Ozempic and Rybelsus; liraglutide is the active ingredient in the company's earlier obesity medicine Saxenda and diabetes drug Victoza. Nearly five in every 1,000 users of semaglutide drugs developed pancreatitis, compared to one of every 1,000 users of bupropion-naltrexone, the active ingredients in the weight-loss drug Contrave, according to a report in the JAMA medical journal. Contrave was approved in the U.S. in 2014 and in Canada in 2018.

My Ozempic story.

I started taking Ozempic early on, before the trend was really a thing, in 2020. I was about 245 pounds at that point and my doctor basically insisted, even though I wasn’t prediabetic or anything, just fat. I took it for a couple of months in the summer. I took the lowest dose at first and only increased it a little bit, not all the way.

It caused me to throw up every other day. I would not be able to eat a full meal because I would start vomiting. I vomited uncontrollably, even all over myself in the car because I could not pull over. It was humiliating, unpredictable, and horrible. I lost ten to fifteen pounds from vomiting so much.

I decided to stop taking it because hey, I’m ruining myself over this. My doctor put me on Rybelsus instead. Know what happened? I was still fucking throwing up.

I stopped altogether. It took over two years to stop throwing up on a regular basis, after I stopped taking the drug. It fucked me up that badly.

And guess what? I gained all the weight back. It didn’t fucking work.

I’m glad it works for some people, I guess. But I’ll tell everyone I fucking know what that medicine did to me. It was a truly horrible experience and I don’t want anyone to go through what I did just for the sake of a little weight loss.

[thebiscuiteternal]

Ugh. Incoming whine post.

So I've been on rybelsus (tablet form of semaglutide, same thing as the ozempic injections) for two years, because after an entire lifetime of being hypOglycemic, my body abruptly changed to being hypERglycemic when I turned 35.

I have not been able to get my medication for almost three months, because, you guessed it! The new weight loss fad.

I just contacted my patience assistance program through the manufacturer, and they don't even have an estimated date for when my next shipment will go out.

My internist had given me a sample pack of mounjaro (tirzepatide) injections that would last a month, with orders to get it filled as a prescription only if I absolutely couldn't get my rybelsus.

As you can well guess from my surgery posts, I. HATE. NEEDLES. Taking this shit has made me cry every single time.

But I finally cracked and tried to get the prescription filled after getting off the phone with the manufacturer.

It's on backorder at both of my potential pharmacies with no indication of when they'll next have any, because guess what again! Every other doctor who can't get semaglutide for their patients has been resorting to this as backup too!

Fuck. This.
