What is Tirzepatide?
What is the Difference Between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are both effective weight-loss medications, but they work through different mechanisms.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which mimics the GLP-1 hormone to regulate appetite and blood sugar levels, helping reduce hunger and promote feelings of fullness.
In contrast, Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, combining the effects of two hormones to provide a more comprehensive approach to weight loss. Tirzepatide reduces hunger and slows gastric emptying like Semaglutide and enhances insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic function, offering a broader spectrum of benefits for weight management.
