Hormonal

Tirzepatide (5, 10, 15 mg weekly) produces substantial, dose-dependent weight loss in patients with obesity or overweight with comorbidities, outperforming placebo.

Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist that produces significant, dose-dependent weight loss (up to 17.8% at 15 mg weekly). It is administered subcutaneously once weekly. As of September 2023, it was not approved for obesity treatment in Switzerland, so availability may be limited.
