Semaglutide (Wegovy®, Ozempic®) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that suppresses appetite. Tirzepatide (Zepbound®, Mounjaro®) is a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist that targets two hunger hormones simultaneously. In head-to-head trials (SURMOUNT-5), tirzepatide produced 47% more weight loss than semaglutide. Both are excellent options — your physician will recommend the best fit for you.

Clinical trial results vary:

• Semaglutide patients lost an average of 14.9% of body weight (STEP 1 trial, 68 weeks)
• Tirzepatide patients lost up to 22.5% of body weight (SURMOUNT-1 trial, 72 weeks)

Individual results depend on adherence, diet, and exercise. Your physician will set realistic goals based on your health profile.

GLP-1 medications work best alongside healthy lifestyle changes. However, many patients find that the appetite suppression naturally makes it easier to eat less and make better food choices. Your physician will provide personalized guidance throughout your treatment.

The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation — especially during dose escalation. These typically improve over time. Serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis and gallbladder issues. Your physician will review your full medical history to ensure safety before prescribing.
