Both drugs led to substantial weight loss, but Mounjaro’s 20% weight reduction, after 72 weeks of treatment, exceeded the 14% from Wegovy, according to the trial’s findings.

I would like Mounjaro, but my plan doesn’t cover it yet. On the bright side, I have lost 36.4% of my weight I started with and if I hit my goal it will be 51%

Do you exercise?
Yes, i walk a lot. I tried jogging but it hurt my hips and knees too much, and I’m too poor to afford the gym…so i walk, and walk, and walk.

That is interesting, but a question that arises in my mind, on what relative doses were they compared?
For instance, I am taking Ozempic and cannot tolerate more than .5 mgs weekly. If I could up the dose, I would lose a lot more weight much faster. So, perhaps Mounjaro’s higher doses were better tolerated, which led to higher reduction in weight loss.
It would be interesting to compare them at the same relative dosage. For instance, the maximum of Ozempic is 2.2, and I am taking .5, so that is around 22.7 percent of the maximum dose. If Mounjaro is side effect friendly, then it could be taken at 40-50 percent of the maximum dose, perhaps yielding better results in the long run.
What about the long-term negative consequences of the two drugs? I am sure, there will be some negative consequences from taking these drugs, but hopefully the positives will far outweigh the negatives. And, perhaps, also that is where taking the minimum percentage of the maximum dose would be less detrimental to overall health.
