Tirzepatide tends to be the better fit when: the goal is more significant weight loss (15 percent or more of body weight), the patient has type 2 diabetes with A1C above target on prior therapies, prior single-pathway GLP-1 use produced limited results, or the patient tolerated GLP-1s reasonably well and wants a stronger next step
All included studies reported no significant differences in baseline characteristics of BMI and HbA1c between intervention and comparison groups
These figures are in line with the other GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide or tirzepatide that regularly hit $1,000 to $1,400 monthly at retail, though discounts and insurance can reduce the out-of-pocket cost
