Speaking to FIT , Dr G Moinuddin, Consultant - Bariatric & Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery, Manipal Hospitals Miller's Road, says that, unlike the other drugs that act on GLP-1 receptors alone, Tirzepatide is a GLP plus GIP agonist
Commonly prescribed GLP-1 medications include: Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) , widely used for both weight loss and metabolic health due to its strong appetite-suppressing effect Liraglutide (Saxenda) , an earlier GLP-1 option that requires daily dosing rather than weekly injections Exenatide , a less commonly used medication today that helped establish early GLP-1 therapy All of these medications act on a single hormone pathway by activating the GLP-1 receptor
