Semaglutide is a medication belonging to the class of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). It is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and for weight management.
For diabetes treatment, semaglutide works by mimicking the effects of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which stimulates insulin release, lowers glucagon secretion, and slows down the rate at which food is absorbed in the stomach. This helps regulate blood sugar levels.
For weight management, higher doses of semaglutide have been approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight and at least one weight-related condition. The exact mechanism for weight loss is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness.
Results vary, but It typically takes about two weeks for semaglutide to start working in the body. Some people begin to see results within the first eight weeks, but most begin to see results within 12 weeks.
Studies have shown that study participants taking a weekly dose of semaglutide had an average reduction in body weight of 5-10 percent (2), and in longer studies, some had a weight loss of up to 20% (1).

Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It combines the benefits of two hormones to improve blood sugar control and promote weight loss.
Results vary. Studies report, an average, a 20% mean weight reduction in patients classified as overweight or obese without diabetes after taking the medication for 36 weeks. However, when abruptly stopped, patients regained 14% (2.)
While Tirzepatide can be well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects. Common ones include:
