Tirzepatide

  • Once-weekly subcutaneous injection
  • Also available as an oral disintegrating tablet (ODT) and liquid drops
  • Dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist
  • Often produces greater weight loss than single-mechanism GLP-1s like Semaglutide
  • Powerful appetite suppression

Liraglutide

  • Daily subcutaneous injection
  • Effective for weight loss and metabolic health
  • Reduces appetite and supports blood sugar control

  • Alternative option for patients who prefer daily dosing

GLP-1 medications are administered through subcutaneous injections, oral disintegrating tablets (ODTs), and liquid via a dropper. Injections ae considered the most effective method, and most patients find them simple and relatively painless to administer.

Your provider will determine the most appropriate GLP-1 medication and starting dosage based on your weight loss goals, medical history, and individual response to therapy.
