Ozempic, Rybelsus and Mounjaro

[Sarah69]

Hi,

Does anybody know if the above have the same ingredients? I’ve been on Ozempic and once starting the highest dose I was randomly sick over many months until I stopped taking it. I’ve just been on Rybelsus and once starting the 7mg tablet the sickness returned so I’ve stopped taking that. I’m just wondering if Mounjaro would be any different?

Both Ozempic and Rybelsus are semaglutide while Mounjaro is tirzepatide.

as I understand, Mounjaro is much easier to handle in terms of side effects than Ozempic - I never took Ozempic, but am taking Mounjaro, and so long as you ramp up the dosage with your nurse slowly over time, I believe it is much easier to tolerate the side effects

Ozempic and Rybelsus both contain semaglutide, so if you had trouble with one, it’s not surprising the other caused similar side effects. Mounjaro is a different compound (tirzepatide), so some people do tolerate it better, but of course, everyone reacts differently.

That said, you're definitely not the only one who's had a rough time with semaglutide. There’s even been a Rybelsus lawsuit related to more serious complications.
