Wegovy pulls

[cknfused]

Hi all,

I lost six stone on Mounjaro and eventually got up to the highest dose. I have been off it for awhile now but I feel the hunger is out of control and the weight is starting to very slowly come back on so I have just started the Wegovy pills 1.5 mg. I’m on my third day and I don’t feel any different at all. Will they kick in? And does it start working or has anybody else who previously lost loads? Anyone felt that the pills just don’t work the same way? Will it even work if I was to go back onto Mounjaro? Help!

It's been 3 days.... the amount in your system will be small at the moment. With the tablets, the amount builds up differently to the injection, so you are correct that they don't work in the same way. Your digestion process destroys most of the medication in the tablet, so of the 1.5mg in each tablet only 1 to 2% ends up in your bloodstream. That then builds up each time you take a tablet, as it takes 7 days for half of each dose to leave your system. So just before you are due to take tablet number 4, the amount in your system will only be about 0.04mg in total.

So, I would give it a chance to build up. The whole 4 weeks on the first dose level may not result in much weight loss but the point is to get onto the higher doses.
