I am unable to watch TV adverts for drugs in general because it's all going swimmingly until they reach the side effects section and then I am just sitting there in a state of shock. Anyway if you want to see the advert - www.ispot.tv/ad/1VpJ/mounjaro-what-if |

What is CABLE?  The commercial says its only $25. Was it Stevil who said the talk about the vomiting and bellyache is mostly exaggerated? I will say the 25lb claim is very impressive. Its only a $1 a pound! They never mention it is only temporary while you continue to take it. As we have said for about a year Mike needs to make sure he includes it in the "GLP1/afrezza study. |

Yes, I once made the mistake of clicking the wrong dose of semaglutide in my EMR because the way it’s structured makes no sense. I accidentally started them on 1mg instead of 0.25mg a week.
They were very sick that month. After I lowered it back down to 0.5mg- no reason to titrate at 0.25mg anymore (whoops), there was no more nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. My patient was a good sport about it and thanked me for the extra 10 pound weight loss that month.
Mostly, if you start at the correct dose and titrate slowly, most patients tolerate it without much issue. Maybe the first day they’ll be uncomfortable, but not really enough of a reason to stop treatment.
It wouldn’t be spreading like wildfire if it sucked and no one wanted it.
