WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN sEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE?
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide both belong to the same group of medications called GLP-1 agonists. Both are very effective for loosing weight.
Semaglutide was discovered first and studies have shown a 16.9% average loss of body weight in 68 weeks.
Tirzepatide is the newer generation of GLP-1 agonists and studies have shown a 22.5% average loss of body weight in 72 weeks.
There is not necessarily a right or wrong choice. Someone seeking a more affordable option should start with Semaglutide. Someone looking for the most effective option may want Tirzepatide. It is possible to switch from Semaglutide to Tirzepatide, however, that will need to be a discussion between you and your health care provider.
