[1] [4] These drugs include semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), dulaglutide (Trulicity), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound)though tirzepatide is technically a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP-1 receptor agonist
That means that even with an obesity diagnosis and a prescription, people will have to pay for the GLP-1 out of pocket
The Wegovy and Ozempic pens have the needle already built in and hidden inside the base
Once-weekly administered tirzepatide proved to be both noninferior and superior in reducing glycosylated hemoglobin levels in T2DM patients and demonstrated robust weight loss in obese patients [27,28]
