Side effects data mainly from package insert, the web, and my sister who took Ozempic.
Costco pharmacy, where we fill most of our prescriptions, does a lot of counseling. Like every single time the vet renews BamBam's Prozac Rx, 3 times a year, I have to go and tell them it's for my cat, he's been on this for about a decade etc.
This time they wanted to use another pharmacy rather than Costco. I was handed a bag. No counseling, no "do you need any info on giving yourself an injection?", nothing.
And yeah, it titrates up. This is the first of four at that level. I do hope it works!
I'm glad to know some pharmacists do counseling! We primarily use Target, and the assistant does at least always ask if I have questions for the pharmacist. And I remember I got some minimal counseling the first time I picked up an antidepressant (not at Target). Since it was probably 18 years ago i don't remember all the details, but I know it wasn't as extensive as what we expect the students to do in those cases. In the past year or two I have gone to the counter to ask questions about an OTC product and got minimal responses (one almost felt like a brush off).
