Semaglutide and Phentermine are prescription medications that work differently. While weight loss rate and amount vary from person to person, our research shows that patients on Semaglutide lose 17 pounds to every 3 pounds for patients on Phentermine.

This does not mean everyone will have this experience nor is it a guarantee of weight loss.

Semagltude and Tirzepatide are medications that require a prescription. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are approved by the FDA for weight management and are glucagon-like protein receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA). However, Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor co-agonist.

While both medications are effective in helping patients lose weight, patients on Tirzepatide tend to lose more weight in the given time frame. In two recent studies (SURMOUNT-1 & STEP1) patients lost 17.8% on Tirzepatide versus 12.4% on Semaglutide more than placebo.  So, the bottom line is that both medications are effective in helping patients lose weight when combined with diet and exercise. Patients on Tirzepatide tend to lose more weight than patients on Semaglutide.

It is important to remember that weight loss is individualized and never guaranteed.
