Which Weight Loss Injection is the Best?
Are you considering one of the new weight loss medications delivered as a weekly injection but unsure which option might work best for you? Let’s break it down so you can make an informed decision.
The Top Contenders: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide
There are two meds that work very well: semaglutide and tirzepatide. Both have proven highly effective in helping individuals shed pounds and improve their overall health.
- Semaglutide: This medication has been around longer and consistently delivers results. Studies show that patients using semaglutide can lose an average of 12-15% of their body weight over 68 weeks. It’s available under the brand names Ozempic and Wegovy. Aside from weight loss, semaglutide also offers additional health benefits, such as improving type 2 diabetes management and reducing the risk of heart disease.
- Tirzepatide: The newer option on the market, tirzepatide, is even more powerful. Clinical trials reveal an impressive 20% weight loss over 72 weeks for patients using this medication. Branded as Mounjaro or Zepbound, tirzepatide has quickly become the go-to choice for many seeking substantial weight loss.
At Cordova Weight Loss Clinic, we’ve seen patients achieve incredible results with both medications. However, a significant majority of our patients (93%) prefer tirzepatide over semaglutide due to its heightened effectiveness.
