3. Can a person go to a website to buy OTC semaglutide the active ingredient in Wigovy or Ozempic? (Yes it was available then, due to a drug shortage, BUT NOW THE DRUG SHORTAGE IS OVER, and it is no longer available this way. Means lots of people who started therapy w/ this drug will now may have to go back to getting a prescription for it)
4. What’s with the Medicare Do-Over? (Check w/ Brian Bilhartz. Check EVERY YEAR. Now you have 30 more days (AEP) to get your insurance correct.)
5. Why are my blood pressure pills making me dizzy, fatigued and sick. Why? (Does this happen during the first couple of weeks of a new medicine? All BP medicines can cause a little dizziness. Normally should go away. If you develop other symptoms, perhaps you need a different drug. Always know your own BP numbers, take your BP 3 times a week @ home).
