The medications
Semaglutide or tirzepatide: what is the difference?
Both work with your biology rather than against it, targeting the hormones that drive appetite and blood sugar. Which one fits, and at what dose, is your provider’s decision after your labs, not an online quiz.
Tirzepatide
Acts on GLP-1 and on GIP, a second hormone pathway involved in appetite and blood sugar.
- Works on two hormone pathways
- Feel full sooner, fewer cravings
- Steadier blood sugar
