They market semaglutide and tirzepatide as their primary options and emphasize affordability and convenience
People have reported serious unexpected side effects from taking Ozempic
Tirzepatide is already FDA-approved for diabetes (sold as Mounjaro), as well as for weight loss and now sleep apnea (sold as Zepbound)
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis If tirzepatide produces 50% more weight loss than semaglutide (which clinical trials suggest), the cost per pound lost might actually be similar despite higher absolute cost: Semaglutide at $199: $96 per pound lost (based on trial averages) Tirzepatide at $349: potentially $105 per pound lost if weight loss is proportionally higher The medications are relatively comparable in cost-effectiveness, making the choice based more on individual response than pure cost considerations
