Are these new meds. I never heard of them. Are they effective. Also, are they expensive. Thank you.

I took glimeperide for a long time until I started using Lantus and Humalog. It helped me quite a bit

Hi Nana. We were having trouble getting Ozempic because it is called a weight loss drug! I did not lose my 70 lbs on Ozempic but no one believes me otherwise and it is insulting. Well anyway I went to my pharmacist and he said the following drugs work like Ozempic in pill form or injection. It has to be taken everyday. Mounjaro; Truicity; Rybelsus; Wegovy; Saxenda. Please ask your pharmacist what is best for you price wise and ask your doctor. Hope this helps.
