Wegovy and Zepbound
Wegovy and Zepbound, FDA-approved for chronic weight management in obese/overweight patients, have exceeded our expectations at Dr. Rogers Centers, enhancing weight loss outcomes significantly. These user-friendly once-a-week subcutaneous injections, along with compounded forms GLP-1 and tirzepatide, are integral to our comprehensive approach to weight loss and maintenance.
How do Wegovy and Zepbound work?
- These medications both work on the glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) receptor and Zepbound also works on the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide(GIP).
- The medications have shown a reduction in body weight when accompanied by calorie restriction and moderate exercise.
- Dr. Rogers Centers recommends these medications for:
- Weight Loss and "Recomping the Body"
- Improve insulin resistance and glucose levels
- Enhance metabolism and cardio protection
- Decrease inflammatory markers
- Decrease gastrointestinal inflammation
- Appetite control
What was the average weight loss for Wegovy and Zepbound in weight loss studies?
Studies for Wegovy demonstrate that at week 68, the mean weight change from baseline with once-weekly dosing was up to 17%, while for Zepbound at week 68, it was slightly over 20%. These remarkable findings underscore the superior efficacy of both medications compared to any other weight loss medication available to date.
Benefits of the Medications
- Weight Loss
- Improved glucose control
- Improved fertility
- Positive cardiovascular effects
- Treatment of Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Decrease in Fatty Liver
Difference between Wegovy and Zepbound?
Zepbound is preferred by certain patients due to its lower incidence of nausea-related symptoms. Head-to-head studies comparing Mounjaro and Ozempic revealed that Mounjaro resulted in greater weight loss. Moreover, compounded tirzepatide is pricier than compounded GLP-1. At Dr. Rogers Centers, we recognize both medications as highly effective for weight loss and maintenance. During your initial weight loss appointment, our team will thoroughly discuss these medications with you, and together with your provider, determine the most suitable option for your needs.
