Semaglutide VS
Tirzepatide:
Which Is Best
For You?
At Legacy Medical Clinic, we are
dedicated to helping you make
informed decisions about your health
What is
Semaglutide?
Semaglutide, known by brand names
like Ozempic and Wegovy, is a GLP-1
(glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor
agonist, it has been approved for
weight management due to its
impressive efficacy in promoting
weight loss.
What is
Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide, marketed under the
brand name Mounjaro, is a dual GIP
(glucose-dependent insulinotropic
polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptor
agonist. This newer medication was
also initially developed for diabetes
management and has shown
significant potential for weight
reduction.
Let’s Compare Semaglutide
and Tirzepatide
Semaglutide is the #1
FDA approved weight
loss treatment in the
U.S. right now
- Semaglutide mimics the action
of the GLP-1 hormone, which
regulates appetite and food
intake. By slowing gastric
emptying and enhancing
feelings of fullness, it helps
reduce overall caloric intake
- Tirzepatide targets both GIP
and GLP-1 receptors, enhancing
insulin secretion, slowing
gastric emptying, and reducing
appetite. This dual action
offers a unique approach
compared to single-action
treatments like semaglutide
How Does It
Work?
Semaglutide:
- Mimics GLP-1 hormone action
- Slows gastric emptying
- Enhances feelings of fullness
Mechanism of
Action?
Tirzepatide:
- Targets both GIP and GLP-1
receptors - Enhances insulin secretion.
- Slows gastric emptying.
- Reduces appetite through a
dual mechanism
Semaglutide:
- Weight Loss: In clinical trials,
patients using Semaglutide
experience an average weight
loss of 15-20% of their initial
body weight - Diabetes Management: It also
offers the added benefit of
improving glycemic control in
individuals with type 2 diabetes
Clinical
Success
Tirzepatide:
- Weight Loss: Clinical trials show
Tirzepatide can lead to a 20-
25% weight loss, making it a
strong competitor to
Semaglutide - Enhanced Efficacy: Its dual
mechanism might provide
better glycaemic control and
weight loss than single-action
treatment
Semaglutide:
Common Side Effects:
