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:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Abdominal pain


Less Common Side Effects:

  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Hypoglycemia (especially in
    individuals with type 2 diabetes)
  • Pancreatitis (rare but serious)


Side Effects

Tirzepatide:


Common Side Effects:

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Abdominal pain


Less Common Side Effects:

  • Decreased appetite
  • Dyspepsia (indigestions)
  • Injection site reactions
  • Hypoglycemia (more common
    when combined with insulin or
    sulfonylureas)
  • Pancreatitis (rare but serious)

Semaglutide:

  • Administered via injection
  • Dosage and frequency tailored to
    individual treatment plan


Administration

Tirzepatide:

  • Administered via injection
  • Dosage and frequency adjusted
    based on individual needs
