From Ozempic to Mounjaro?

Wondering if anyone has gone from Oz to Mounjaro?
Been on Oz since Nov 23 and had to take a break for a few weeks which meant restarting at the lowest dose and have only just started at the 1mg. I've only lost 14lb so thinking of moving to Mounjaro.

I have type 2 diabetes too, Oz has controlled the BMs well but I know GP can't/won't prescribe Mounjaro because I'll be asking for it for weight loss.

So, questions;
Do I go straight from Oz 1mg to lowest dose of Mounjaro and titrate up?

Anyone done the same and experienced any side effects?

Any advice?

Thanks so much to anyone that replies!

Watching with interest. I've been on Ozempic for over 18 months. I've lost 4 stone but still need to lose another 4 stone. Lately I've stopped losing weight. It's so disappointing. I'm now wondering whether to change to Mounjaro. I also don't know if I'd need to start on a low dose or straight on to a higher dose. 🤷

I've just completed registration on Asda online and the two main things to note are you have to have a break for 5 weeks between last dose of Ozempic and starting Mounjaro.
They've also only offered me the two lowest doses, 0.5mg and 1mg to start, I went with the 0.5mg.
I've yet to be approved although I've made a payment so will wait to see what happens and report back.

I thought that Mounjaro started at 2.5mg as the lowest dose? It's Wegovy that starts at 0.25mg, then moves onto 0.5mg.

You're absolutely right. Just checked my order and they had offered me Wegovy (or perhaps I clicked the wrong thing initially).
I've messaged online and hopefully they can rectify it.
Thanks for flagging
