Tirzepatide:
Tirzepatide is a novel medication that works by mimicking two hormones—glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). These hormones play a critical role in regulating blood sugar and appetite. The combination of both GLP-1 and GIP helps enhance weight loss, improve insulin sensitivity, and control hunger.
Semaglutide:
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLP-1 is a hormone that helps regulate insulin release, suppresses appetite, and promotes feelings of fullness. Semaglutide, which is marketed under brand names like Wegovy and Ozempic, has been proven effective for weight loss, with additional benefits for blood sugar control and heart health in people with type 2 diabetes.
