Semaglutide

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to help manage weight by regulating appetite and improving metabolic function. Originally developed for treating type 2 diabetes, it has been proven to aid in weight loss by mimicking the effects of a natural hormone that helps control blood sugar, slows digestion, and reduces hunger. When combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, Semaglutide can help individuals achieve sustainable weight loss, making it a powerful tool in the fight against obesity.

Tirzepatide

(Due to the FDA shortage list update on Oct 2, 2024, this medication is only available for 60 days (thru Dec 1, 2024) through our 503b compounding pharmacy to allow their inventory to clear. We’ll be sure to notify and adjust this if there are any FDA changes.)

Tirzepatide is a new, FDA-approved medication designed to help with weight loss and managing type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking two natural hormones in the body, GLP-1 and GIP, which help regulate appetite, blood sugar levels, and digestion. By reducing hunger and improving how your body processes sugar, Tirzepatide supports significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and exercise. It offers an exciting option for those looking for long-term weight management solutions.

Both Tirzepatide and Semaglutide are highly effective GLP-1 receptor agonists used for weight loss and diabetes management, but Tirzepatide has shown more significant weight loss results in clinical studies. On average, people taking Tirzepatide experienced greater reductions in body weight compared to those on Semaglutide. Tirzepatide’s dual action on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors may contribute to its enhanced effectiveness. However, both medications, when combined with lifestyle changes, offer substantial improvements in weight management and metabolic health.
