WHY THE PRICES DIFFER

Two different medications, not two tiers of the same one

Conceptual comparison of a single GLP-1 receptor pathway with combined GIP and GLP-1 receptor pathways.
Left: semaglutide acts on the GLP-1 receptor. Right: tirzepatide acts on both the GIP and the GLP-1 receptor.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide are two different molecules, not a basic and a premium version of the same drug. Semaglutide acts on one receptor target; tirzepatide is a newer dual-agonist that acts on two — and in the head-to-head trial that compared them directly, tirzepatide produced greater average weight loss over 72 weeks. It also costs more to source. That is the difference you see in the monthly price, not a markup.

Head-to-head comparison from SURMOUNT‑5, a 72-week randomized trial in adults with obesity. Averages are not predictions: individual results, tolerance and side effects differ, and the more effective medication on paper is not automatically the right one for you. We decide that together at your evaluation. Compounded medications are not FDA‑approved.
