Administration and Availability Both Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) are available as once-weekly subcutaneous injections
You can also make up for a missed injection as long as you take your makeup dose at least two days before your next regularly scheduled injection
A rigid timeline does not account for those differences
Heres the catch: Serum potassium may appear normal or high initially but total body potassium is severely depleted
However, the company that makes Ozempic, Novo Nordisk, does not sell semaglutide for compounding, raising concerns about where compounded semaglutide comes from and the possible use of different formulas
If side effects are causing anxiety or affecting your day-to-day life, a Slim Shot consult or follow-up visit is an opportunity to pause, reassess, and make sure your treatment plan continues to fit your needs
