Weight can be a complex task, especially with so many options available. Injections of medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide have become popular choices for those looking to lose weight effectively, but how do you know which one is best for you? Allow me to explain the basic principles of these two medications and help you understand each of them.

Understanding Weight Loss Injections:

Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are powerful tools in the fight against obesity. These injections work by suppressing appetite, helping to prolong feelings of satiety by reducing food noise and stabilizing blood sugar levels. They are designed to make weight loss easier and more manageable. However, each one has unique characteristics — let's explore how they work and what sets them apart.

Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide:

• Semaglutide : This medication works by mimicking a hormone in the body that tells the brain when you're full, helping you eat less. Studies have shown that it helps patients lose a significant amount of weight, generally between 10 and 15% of their body weight.
• Tirzepatida : This is a newer option that acts on two different hormones in the body, which may make it even more effective for weight loss than semaglutide. Some studies suggest that it may help patients lose up to 20% of their body weight.

Cost Considerations: The cost of these weight-loss injections can vary greatly depending on where you live, your insurance coverage, and whether you opt for a well-known brand or a manipulated version. Without insurance, brand-name treatments, such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro, can cost anywhere from $800 to $1,500 a month. Due to increased demand and the need for more affordable options, clinics like ours offer manipulated semaglutide and tirzepatide at a fraction of the price of well-known brands. We currently have a special promotion for new members, where you can get the first month of semaglutide for US$ 99 (US$ 299/month) and the first month of tirzepatida for US$ 199 (US$ 349/month).

Why am I not losing weight with the use of semaglutide/tirzepatide?

If you're not losing weight as expected, don't be discouraged. Several factors may be influencing, such as dosage, your adherence to treatment, or other health problems. It's important to talk to your doctor so that we can identify the necessary adjustments for you to regain control of your weight.

Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are promising options for weight loss, but the right choice depends on your specific needs and your health status. The best way to determine which one is right for you is to consult a healthcare professional who can guide you throughout the decision-making process.
