Is Ozempic Good To Counter The Weight From Bictarvy?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Athens, GA

I have put on about 20 lbs while on Bictarvy. The doctor wants to talk to me about weight loss options. Has anyone tried this?

Ozempic isn’t for weight loss, Wegovy is. Alternately the Lily brand Zepbound is for weight loss while Monjouro is not. Same molecules but different doses and indications (semantics but insurance will care about that)
Ozempic just gained FDA approval for CKD which is great news for those of us dealing with kidney issues from our meds.
That being said I use a compounded version of Zepbound and have lost ten pounds in a month.

My buddy is taking Wegovy for it. I have never had weight issues or dysmorphia until Biktarvy and despite being active and vegetarian, put on 20 lbs-like I'm pregnant. I don;t even wanna see MYSELF naked, its ruining my sex life so whats your doctors #??
