My Husband Was Prescribed Synjardy Xr In Combination With Ozempac To Control His Blood Sugar. Does He Need To Take Both Of These?
My husband has type two diabetes and high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He was given 4 different medications including the Ozempic and synjardy xr (also, rosuvastatin and valartan) would it be better, in the interest of not taking four new medication starting all at once to choose one of the diabetic treatments and see how it goes before incorporating the other?
