  • Mounjaro widened its lead through six and 12 months of treatment, leading to 4.3% and 6.9% greater weight loss than Ozempic, respectively.
  • On-treatment changes in weight for tirzepatide-treated group were larger at 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up compared to semaglutide.
  • Participants had baseline weight measurement within 60 days of first GLP-1RA dispense, no prior exposure to GLP-1 RA medications.
  • Patients on Mounjaro were more likely to lose weight and achieved greater weight loss than those on Ozempic.
  • Tirzepatide group was significantly more likely to reach weight loss of greater than 5%, greater than 10%, and greater than 15% compared to semaglutide group.

    GLP-1 Receptor Agonists Shift from Diabetes to Obesity Treatment: Implications and Trends

    Broke On: Tuesday, 23 July 2024 Since around 2020, GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have seen a notable shift from treating type 2 diabetes to obesity in the US. This trend is driven by FDA approvals and the high prevalence of obesity, accounting for over 88% of new prescriptions being semaglutide. However, this shift raises concerns about potential drug shortages and disparities in access.
