smoking and glp 1 Join us on January 21 for an engaging discussion about the promise pitfalls of #GLP-1-based therapies, like #Ozempic, for cessation. We'll discuss potential therapeutic benefits, side effects and safety considerations Unraveling the Impact of GLP-1

Stanford suggests considering the following alternatives: Phentermine/topiramate ER (which has stronger efficacy and is FDAapproved for long-term use) GLP1 receptor agonists (e.g., semaglutide) Dual GLP1/GIP agonists (e.g., tirzepatide) Naltrexone/bupropion Orlistat in select cases The bottom line on phentermine for weight loss Phentermine can be an effective, affordable option for jump-starting weight loss, especially if you need short-term appetite support and pair it with a healthy diet and exercise

Option 2: File a Formulary Exception Click to expand Timeline: 3-30 days for initial decision + appeal time if needed Cost: Usually free to file (some doctors charge for letters) Success Rate: ~25% for formulary exceptions ~25% Success Rate Request special coverage for non-formulary Mounjaro Your doctor formally asks insurance to make an exception How to File a Mounjaro Formulary Exception: Doctor writes letter explaining why you specifically need Mounjaro Submit medical records showing why covered drugs won't work Insurance reviews within 72 hours (standard) or 24 hours (urgent) [1] If denied, you can appeal the decision What Your Doctor Must Prove for Mounjaro Exception: You've tried covered alternatives and they failed (side effects, not effective) OR there's a medical reason you can't take the alternatives Mounjaro is medically necessary for your specific situation No covered drug would be as effective [1] Reality Check: Insurance only approves about 25% of these formulary exception requests, and that's for people with type 2 diabetes
