We stock: Ozempic (semaglutide 0.25mg/0.5mg/1mg), Wegovy (semaglutide 0.25mg-2.4mg for weight loss), Mounjaro (tirzepatide 2.5mg-15mg), Rybelsus (oral semaglutide 3mg/7mg/14mg tablets), and Yurpeak (Cipla's affordable tirzepatide). All GLP-1 injectables require cold chain storage at 2-8°C. All require prescriptions.
Before first use, store in refrigerator at 2-8°C. After first use, Ozempic/Wegovy pens can be stored at room temperature (up to 30°C) for 56 days, or in refrigerator. Mounjaro can be stored at room temperature for 21 days. Never freeze. Keep away from direct heat and light.
Both contain semaglutide. Ozempic (0.25mg-2mg) is approved for Type 2 diabetes. Wegovy (up to 2.4mg) is approved for chronic weight management. Wegovy has higher doses specifically for weight loss. Your doctor will prescribe based on your primary condition.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist that targets two receptors, while Ozempic (semaglutide) targets only GLP-1. Clinical studies show Mounjaro may provide greater A1C reduction and weight loss, but individual results vary. Both require weekly injections and cold chain storage.
Yes! Our clinical pharmacists provide detailed titration schedules. For Ozempic: start 0.25mg weekly for 4 weeks, then 0.5mg, potentially up to 2mg. For Wegovy: start 0.25mg, titrate monthly to 2.4mg over 16-20 weeks. We send reminders for dose increases.
Common initial side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation - usually mild and improve with time. Starting at low doses and slow titration minimizes these. Contact our pharmacists or your doctor if side effects are severe or persistent.
