SEMAGLUTIDE VS TIRZEPATIDE

Mechanism of Action

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a hormone that stimulates insulin release, inhibits glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, and promotes feelings of fullness.

Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist. It combines the actions of both GIP and GLP-1 to enhance insulin secretion, inhibit glucagon secretion, slow gastric emptying, and suppress appetite.

Clinical Efficacy

Both semaglutide and tirzepatide have demonstrated efficacy in lowering blood sugar levels and promoting weight loss in clinical trials. However, tirzepatide has shown greater weight loss efficacy compared to semaglutide in some studies.

Tirzepatide has been shown to achieve higher percentages of weight loss and greater improvements in other cardiometabolic parameters, such as blood pressure and lipid levels, compared to semaglutide in head-to-head clinical trials.

Dosage and Administration

Both are administered in a one weekly injection.

Side Effects

Both semaglutide and tirzepatide may cause similar side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and injection site reactions.

Cost and Accessibility

The cost and accessibility of semaglutide and tirzepatide may vary. In most instances semaglutide is a more affordable option. That is why we will usually start patients out on semaglutide and advanced to tirzepatide if desired therapy endpoints are not met on semaglutide.
