Both Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are game-changers in the weight loss world, but which one is better for you? Here’s a look at how they compare:
- Mechanism of Action: While both medications are GLP-1 receptor agonists, Tirzepatide also targets GIP receptors, potentially enhancing its effect on appetite suppression.
- Research Findings: Clinical studies show that Tirzepatide patients have lost up to 22.5-25% of body weight, while Semaglutide patients report an average of 15-20%.
- Side Effects and Suitability: Both medications have similar side effects, but individual response varies. Tirzepatide is generally better tolerated than Semaglutide.
- Trials are ongoing: Clinical trials are still being conducted to understand the differences between these two medications and the potential benefits of each drug including possible ground-breaking treatments for alcohol use disorder, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cardiometabolic diseases including heart attacks and strokes.
- Cost: As with any new drug, Tirzepatide is newer on the market and still more expensive than Semaglutide. Reach out to us today by email, text (260-207-4378) or scheduling a call by clicking the link below and we can go over our pricing with you!
