Your provider will work with you to manage any unpleasant side effects that you may experience during your treatment. There are many options to help alleviate these symptoms such as splitting up your dose, decreasing your dose, switching medications, or utilizing other medications/supplements to help minimize your symptoms.
Tirzepatide is both a GLP-1 agonist AND a GIP agonist, blocking both receptors. Semaglutide is only a GLP-1 agonist. Tirzepatide, thanks to its dual agonist mechanism of action, showed greater weight loss in clinical trials than Semaglutide- 22.5% (Tirzepatide) vs 10-14% (Semaglutide). Anecdotally, patients report significantly less side effects with Tirzepatide leading to increased drug tolerability and follow through with treatment and results.
