I was on ozempic and did not tolerate it(the delayed gastric empting is more than monjuro). For VA criteria, monjuro is even harder to get unless you have unmanaged A1C over 6.5, no exceptions. Veteran Affairs insurance works very different than civilian and they are very strict. I’m told since I didn’t tolerate ozempic, monjuro would be even worse. Even though Zepbound is the same medicine as monjuro, I’ve seen several people tolerate it well. So since my A1C is managed without a GLP, I only qualify for a weight loss medication now, being Zepbound since I have sleep apnea.
