Tirzepatide (5-15 mg weekly) produces dose-dependent weight loss (up to 11% in diabetics) and superior weight reduction compared to Semaglutide 1mg in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Tirzepatide is a weekly injection for type 2 diabetes that also causes significant weight loss (up to 11% in trials). It works by mimicking two gut hormones (GIP and GLP-1). It has been shown to reduce weight more than Semaglutide 1mg in diabetic patients.

Contemporaneamente, è stato dimostrato un effetto dose dipendente sul peso corporeo, determinando un decremento ponderale pari al 7,9, 9,3 e 11% del peso corporeo, rispettivamente con il dosaggio di tirzepatide 5 mg, 10 mg e 15 mg rispetto al placebo (-0,9%)... le riduzioni medie del peso corporeo con tirzepatide alla dose di 5 mg, 10 mg e 15 mg sono state rispettivamente di -7,6 kg, -9,3 kg e -11,2 kg, rispetto a -5,7 kg ottenuti con semaglutide 1 mg

- Semaglutide (2.4 mg weekly) induces significant weight loss (approx. 14.9%) in adults with obesity, superior to Liraglutide (3 mg daily) and placebo.Strong
- Orlistat (120 mg twice daily) produces a statistically significant weight reduction (>2.9% vs placebo) and improves cardiovascular risk factors in obese patients, including those with type 2 diabetes.Good

- Initial treatment for type 2 diabetes should be a combination of metformin and either an SGLT-2 inhibitor or a GLP-1 receptor agonist to achieve cardiorenal protection, rather than monotherapy or older agents like sulfonylureas.Strong
- For patients with specific monogenic obesity syndromes (leptin deficiency, POMC/PCSK1/LEPR mutations), targeted pharmacotherapy (recombinant leptin or setmelanotide) is highly effective and should be prioritized, unlike in polygenic obesity.Strong
- Continued weekly administration of 2.4 mg subcutaneous semaglutide prevents weight regain and promotes further weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity, whereas switching to placebo results in significant weight regain.Strong
