Empagliflozin

[Cassio83]

Does anyone use ozempic along with empagliflozin? Can they be taken together or are there any contraindications? Because I'm taking ozempic, but I'm stuck with my weight, and I would like to accelerate my weight loss

Only thing it does is reducing blood sugar through inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the kidneys. You can achieve the same thing buy reducing the calories. So unless your are type 2 diabetes and your blood sugar is too high there is no need to that.
Diet and lower calorie intake is eventually what makes you loose fat not drugs

I added empagliflozin (12.5 mg/d) and dihydroberberine (200 mg/d) when my glucose started creeping up with GH (glucose started to creep up around 6 IU GH/d).

Low carb diet, cardio, and those two meds keep my glucose ~90 mg/dL.

Edit: to OP: I don't see any major interactions between Ozempic and empagliflozin but might be worth a discussion with your doctor. Empagliflozin is more anti-hyperglycemic than frank glucose lowering (low risk of hypoglycemia).
