What it does: Tirzepatide works by mimicking two hormones that naturally help control your blood sugar and appetite. This means it can make you feel full longer and reduce how much food you eat.
Unique feature: Since it targets two hormones, it has a dual effect, which might help some people lose more weight than with medications targeting just one hormone.
Semaglutide
What it does: Semaglutide mimics one of these hormones (GLP-1) to help you feel full and reduce your appetite.
Unique feature: It focuses on just one hormone but is still very effective at helping with weight loss by reducing hunger and helping control blood sugar.
