There is a great deal of marketing surrounding Tirzepatide (Mounjaro/Zepbound) recently. Tirzepatide is a dual-action agent which means it targets more organs. However, it also has higher side effects reported compared to Semaglutide and nearly 2x the drop out rate due to adverse events. On average, Tirzepatide is also 50% more expensive compared to Semaglutide for long-term use.

We don't think there is one better than the other but the question is how they fit within your journey. Some might start on Semaglutide and switch to Tirzpatide when reaching plateaus or vice versa.

Instead of focusing on marketing and pushing for the latest trends, Mira believes in a balanced approach to get our members the best possible outcome for their investment.

Because Oral Semaglutide has much lower bioavailability (aka absorption rate) at only 0.8% vs. 89% for injection. You woud need to inject much more medications via oral route for it to be as effective as a weekly injection. While convenient, it costs many times more compared to injectable sSmaglutide.

As a matter of fact, a study shows that one in four patients switches to another glucose-lowering agent after one year of treatment. Some individuals find success in starting with Semaglutide and later switching to Tirzepatide when side effects become intolerable. On the other hand, those who are currently on Tirzepatide also find great results by switching to Semaglutide due to the cost difference.
