Studies on semaglutide show 25-40% of total weight lost can be muscle
Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist, is already approved as Mounjaro (for type 2 diabetes) and Zepbound (for obesity)
When clinically appropriate, providers may prescribe tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), a GLP-1/GIP medication, or semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), a GLP-1 medication
Injection site and technique Proper injection technique ensures consistent drug absorption, which helps maintain stable blood levels and reduces the likelihood of absorption spikes that can trigger GI symptoms
However, research suggests they may be associated with certain eye-related risks in some patients
