Some medications that may require caution are: Insulin or sulfonylurea: When combined with semaglutide, they can cause low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia)
Although its not as effective on its own for weight loss, it can still support blood sugar control and help maintain metabolic improvements, especially in people with PCOS and insulin resistance
Using too much can lead to constipation or other problems
In the future, you might receive a gut microbiome analysis that identifies exactly which GLP-1-supporting strains you are deficient in, followed by a personalized probiotic formulation targeting your specific gaps
If Im treating a diabetic patient on metformin who wants to try semaglutide, I usually add it and continue metformin until I see how their glucose levels respond, says Jennifer Brown, DO, ABOM, ABFM, a board-certified obesity and family medicine specialist at Maxwelton Health Center in West Virginia
