dapagliflozin

[Annaelizabeth]

Can those on dapagliflozin take mounjaro?

I've seen suggestions that there's an increased risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), but this really is a question for your pharmacist or GP. If you're fortunate, your surgery may have its own pharmacist who will have access to your medical history. (We aren't allowed to directly advise you, though others may post about their own experiences.)

Interesting as it was my doctor, who has all my medical history and the meds I take on screen, who suggested mounjaro. So my assumption is that medically speaking there is no contraindication. However, it would be of great value if others post of their own personal experience. Thank you for your reply.

I have been on both for sometime without any ill effects.

[Annaelizabeth in reply to Kylami]

Both prescribed by your GP?

[Kylami in reply to Annaelizabeth]

Yes, the only thing they needed to find out first was would it affect my kidneys as I have stage 4 kidneys failure.

I am on a tablet version of ozempic taken with dapagliflozin and Metformin as part of the Ascend trial. It has steadied my blood sugar and there have been no problems apart from some nausea as the dose increased.

Thank you for the informative reply.

[Blackknight57]

is your doctor prescribed it?

You should ask them first. Don’t take anything they haven’t suggested.

[Annaelizabeth in reply to Blackknight57]

Yes, of course, it was prescribed by my GP. My question is has anybody taking both dpagliflozin and mounjaro noticed any ill-effects.

[ChristianeL in reply to Annaelizabeth]

There are a lot of threads about it on the Cardiomyopathy UK Facebook group. Many people take both but always approved by their cardiologist or GP.

[Blackknight57 in reply to Annaelizabeth]

Each have their own side effects. Dapagliflozine ones are a long list.

[Annaelizabeth in reply to Blackknight57]

I am not looking for side effects but for ill-effects while taking both mounjaro and dapagliflozin.

[Blackknight57 in reply to Annaelizabeth]

Interactions. There is a site that does that. Ill see if i can find it

[Blackknight57 in reply to Blackknight57]

Tirzepatide ( thats the technical name for it) no interactions found.

I have been taking dapagliflozin for several years and have recently started taking the tablet form of Ozempic. Just nausea & diahorrea so far. GP wanted me to go onto Mounjaro but I declined. So I guess the answer to your question is YES.

[Rubia6 in reply to Sammycat]

Never heard of the tablet form of Ozempic I wonder what the difference his besides the obvious.

[Sammycat in reply to Rubia6]

Its available to diabetics on prescription & called Rybelsus. It was my choice to have the tablets instead of the injections because I was concerned about the reported gastric issues with Mounjaro & Ozempic. If you inject and are ill, you cannot do anything but ride it out. If you are taking a daily pill you have far more control and can just stop taking it.
