🔬 Tirzepatide vs. Semaglutide

Both medications are powerful GLP-1 receptor agonists used in medically supervised weight loss programs—but they differ slightly in how they work, how effective they are, and how well they’re tolerated.

Feature Semaglutide Tirzepatide
Mechanism GLP-1 receptor agonist Dual GLP-1 + GIP receptor agonist
How it works Slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite, improves insulin sensitivity Same as semaglutide, plus enhanced fat metabolism and insulin response due to GIP action
Weight loss potential ~15% of body weight (avg) ~20%+ of body weight (avg) in trials
Onset of results Gradual over 8–12 weeks Often faster appetite suppression
Tolerability Nausea and GI symptoms common early Similar, sometimes slightly more tolerable
Dosing 0.25–2 mg weekly 2.5–15 mg weekly
Cost (compounded) Lower Higher
Best for Mild to moderate weight loss or those preferring a gentler ramp-up Clients needing more aggressive results or with insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome
