How Do They Work?
Ozempic
: It mimics a hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone helps increase insulin production when your blood sugar is high, reduces the amount of sugar your liver releases, and slows down how quickly your stomach empties food. These actions help lower blood sugar levels and can lead to weight loss.
Mounjaro
: This medication works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. By activating both, it can improve insulin secretion and decrease appetite more effectively,
leading to greater weight loss for some people.
Who Should Use Them?
Both medications are primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes. Some doctors may prescribe them off-label for weight management in patients without diabetes.
Effectiveness
Both medications are effective for lowering blood sugar, but
Mounjaro may offer superior weight loss benefits:
Ozempic
: Clinical studies show that people can lose about 5-10% of their body weight within a year on this medication.
Mounjaro
: Some studies suggest that participants may lose over 15% of their body weight, making it a potentially more powerful option for those focused on weight loss.
Side Effects
Like all medications, both Ozempic and Mounjaro come with potential side effects. The most common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and stomach pain. These usually settle over time.
