    I was wondering what the DOT regulations are if any against GLP-1. Somebody told me that it was legal because it's not insulin. I'm just wondering if any of you are currently taking anything like Ozempic or Mounjaro and what your experience has been?

    I take Wegovy. I have it listed as one of my medications when I take my DOT physical. No problems. Prescribed by Dr.

    I’m diabetic and take Rybelsus. Same thing, it’s a prescribed medication, no issue for the DOT.

    I'm on Mounjaro and previously took Ozempic. Two different medical examiners have seen them on my prescription list and never said a word about them.

    None about the DOT but I have two drivers who took one of them, one had no issues, the other we replaced the mattress twice (first time on me, the second on him) and had the truck deep cleaned - DO I have to say anything else?

    I've been on a 1 year card previous to Wegovy because of BP medication.
