Wegovy vs Zepbound: Quick Comparison
The Drugs
Wegovy (semaglutide)
- GLP-1 receptor agonist
- Made by Novo Nordisk
- FDA-approved specifically for weight loss
- Average weight loss: ~15% body weight
Zepbound (tirzepatide)
- Dual GIP + GLP-1 receptor agonist
- Made by Eli Lilly
- FDA-approved for weight loss
- Average weight loss: ~20-22% body weight - generally more effective
Which to Ask For?
Zepbound has an edge for most people based on clinical trial results showing greater average weight loss. However, Wegovy may be better if:
- You have cardiovascular disease (proven heart benefits)
- Zepbound causes more side effects for you personally
- Insurance covers one but not the other
Where to Get Either Online (Legitimately)
- Hims & Hers - offers both through telehealth
- Ro Body - prescribed online with ongoing support
- WeightWatchers Clinic - telehealth + behavioral coaching
- Found - comprehensive online weight care program
- Your insurance's preferred telehealth may be cheapest
Important Notes
- Always requires a real prescription from a licensed provider
- Costs ~$500-1,300/month without insurance
- Avoid any site that doesn't require a medical consultation
