PrescriptionsOzempic Alternatives for Weightlosss - Berberine, Metformin, Trulicity
There are 5 categories of semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) alternatives for blood sugar control: (1) GLP-1 drugs such as exenatide, liraglutide, and dulaglutide; (2) DPP-4 inhibitors (e.g., sitagliptin, linagliptin),(3) SGLT2 inhibitors (e.g., canagliflozin, dapagliflozin), (4) metformin, and (5) natural supplements such as cinnamon, berberine, and bitter melon. These alternatives work through different mechanisms and have varying clinical evidence and side effects. GLP-1 drugs are the most effective alternatives to semaglutide, while the efficacy of natural supplements is less established and requires further research. Consult with healthcare professionals before making changes to diabetes management plans.
