My BMI & Blood Pressure Since Starting Ozempic

#1

Didn’t really need to lose a ton of weight, but the longevity benefits of GLP-1 medication are too amazing to ignore (blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, alzheimers, etc etc) so I started compounded semaglutide (ozempic) last October.

I inject 0.3 mg once per week (I don’t even feel the shot by the way, needle is a hair’s width). Gradual results have been great; also I’ve almost completely stopped drinking alcohol, I have no desire for it.

Here’s my BMI and blood pressure since starting. #1 is before I started; #2 is a month after I started; #3 is 4 months after I started (yesterday)

(No, my doctor doesn’t know I take it. I get it online at AgelessRX)

I sure do hope this can continue, but I wonder what will happen when the “shortage” is over and compounding pharmacies can’t make it anymore.

Ah snap, speak of the devil:

FDA just “resolved” the shortage. They’re probably going to bring down the hammer before too long.

How did you manage to get a doctor to prescribe this? I have been turned down.

Interesting. I couldn’t get Ozempic or Wegovy prescribed from a doctor so I bought the GLP-1 in pills - Rybelsus - bought it in India. But: how much should I take? I dont want to loose too much weight either - only to get the other benefits. So: How much should I take? 3mg, 7mg or 14 mg?
Buying without prescription in India doesnt seem to be difficult. And it is far better to go for pills than injections since the latter should be kept cool before use - som they hardly can be sent long distance.
If however you (like I in Denmark) have problems getting medicine through customs I know an indian dealer who has develloped a smart way to solve that problem.

There are many tele health services that can prescribe you these kinds of medicines.

I was going to ask how can you do this in Europe. I already consulted doctors in Germany. They said no way would anyone prescribe this medication for anyone with a BMI less than 35. The I thought about getting it overseas but its VERY difficult here. They have even stopped vitamins shipped from teh US! So I am intrigued. If you can share, please DM. Tx.

Not in Germany. The telemed said no.

I looked for a a way to buy it in India, where I found a small company - a guy, really - who has found a way to send medicine through one or more adresses in Euope on its way. Also I think he has a contact in indian customs. Anyway - he charges around 60 € for shipping and then of course something for the medicine. Rybelsus 3 mg (10 pieces) 35 €, 7 mg 40€ and 14 mg 44€. My experience is that you can divide the 14 mg into smaller pieces. Be aware however that they should be taken 1/2 hour before eating anything in the morning. He has an ingenious way to get the goods to you - but I had to promise him not to reveal the detalis. I took the chance - and recieved the goods. And upon recieving I got a better understanding of his method.
The name of the company is Amoha Impes, the guys name is Ankit, and his WhatsApp-number is: +919924570000

The British ZavaMed service seems to offer its services to Germans aswell and is relatively liberal in its prescriptions.
