How does semaglutide or tirzepatide help you lose weight?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide mimic natural hormones in your body that control appetite and food uptake, leading to a reduction in calorie consumption. Additionally, it supports better insulin regulation. This can help manage blood sugar levels, a vital factor in weight management.

What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide targets both the GLP 1 and the GIP receptor agonist. Semaglutide only mimics the GLP-1 receptor agonist, which is released by your gut after you eat to signal to the brain that you are full.

Is tirzepatide better than semaglutide?

Research suggests tirzepatide may cause a more significant reduction in body weight than semaglutide. However, additional comparative studies are needed to draw firm findings. It’s also important to remember that each person reacts to medications differently. Semaglutide may work better for some people than tirzepatide.

Where can semaglutide or tirzepatide be administered?

Either semaglutide or tirzepatide can be injected subcutaneously into upper arms, abdomen, or thighs.

Can semaglutide or tirzepatide be discontinued immediately or should it be tapered off?

If needed, the dose can be stopped without tapering. If a patient is not tolerating a given dose, a dose reduction may improve tolerability.

What happens if you stop taking semaglutide or tirzepatide?

When either semaglutide or tirzepatide use is discontinued, the effect on weight loss or maintenance can vary based on health factors, lifestyle, and adherence to a healthy diet and exercise routine. Semaglutide or tirzepatide, like other weight management medications, works best in conjunction with lifestyle changes. If treatment is stopped, there may be a risk of regaining weight if the lifestyle modifications are not maintained.
