Zepbound vs Wegovy: Quick Comparison
Which Works Better?
Zepbound (tirzepatide) has the edge in clinical trials.
- Zepbound: Average weight loss of ~20-22% of body weight in trials
- Wegovy (semaglutide): Average weight loss of ~15% of body weight
Zepbound targets two hormones (GIP + GLP-1) vs. Wegovy's one (GLP-1), which likely explains the stronger results. However, individual responses vary significantly - some people do better on Wegovy.
Which Is Easier to Get Online?
Zepbound is currently easier to access online because:
- Tirzepatide compounded versions were widely available due to shortage status
- Hims & Hers, Ro, and Henry Meds have offered compounded tirzepatide
- Wegovy/semaglutide compounded versions face more restrictions now that shortages were declared resolved
Recommended Telehealth Platforms:
- Hims & Hers - competitive pricing, easy process
- Ro - strong medical support
- Henry Meds - good for ongoing management
Important Caveats
- Compounded versions aren't FDA-approved
- You need a legitimate prescription either way
- Costs vary widely; insurance coverage matters
