Two drugs, side by side
Each page takes one pair and shows what they share, where they differ, what the trials found and what each costs a month.
Drug against drug
Is compounded semaglutide the same as Ozempic? Not as a product
The name on the vial is the same molecule. Almost everything else differs: who checks it, what else is in it, how it's dosed and what evidence stands behind it. Here is each difference, with current prices for both.
Compounded tirzepatide vs Zepbound: what's the same and what isn't
Both contain tirzepatide. Only one has an FDA approval, a tested device and trial results behind it. Here is the comparison, row by row, with current prices.
Is Foundayo as effective as Zepbound? What the trials show
Both come from Eli Lilly, but they're different molecules in different forms. Zepbound produced about twice the average weight loss in its trial. Foundayo costs less, is a pill with no food rules, and may help hold on to weight lost on an injection.
Is metformin like Ozempic? Two very different diabetes drugs
One is a decades-old generic tablet, the other a weekly injection with heart and kidney labels. They treat the same disease in different ways, and many people take both.
Ozempic vs Mounjaro: how the two diabetes drugs compare
Both are weekly shots for type 2 diabetes, from different companies and with different molecules. Here's what the head-to-head trial and the two labels show.
Is Wegovy the same as Ozempic? Same drug, different product
Both contain semaglutide from Novo Nordisk. The label, the dose ceiling, the pen and the price are where they part ways.
Is Zepbound the same as Ozempic? No, and here's how they differ
Different molecules, different makers and different approved uses. The quickest way to compare them is to see which drug each one is really paired with.
Retatrutide vs tirzepatide: what the trials show, and what's approved
Retatrutide's phase 3 numbers are the largest yet for a weight drug, but they come from a different trial than tirzepatide's. Here's what can and can't be compared, and where each drug stands with FDA right now.
Semaglutide vs tirzepatide: what the head-to-head trials found
One drug acts on one gut-hormone receptor, the other on two. Here's what that difference did in the trials that tested them directly.
Wegovy pill or Wegovy shot: cost, results and the trade-offs
Same molecule, same company, two very different routines. The pill is cheaper on NovoCare's cash prices and did nearly as well in its trial. The weekly pen covers more people and goes to a higher dose.
Wegovy or Mounjaro: start with which label fits you
Two different molecules from two different companies, approved for different people. Find your situation in the table and you'll know which label applies, and which drug is the fair comparison.
Is Zepbound the same as Mounjaro? Yes and no
Same molecule, same maker, same strengths. What changes is the diagnosis each one is approved for, and that's what sets your price.
Zepbound or Wegovy: which weight-loss label fits you
The two drugs approved for weight management, compared on what they did head to head, what else each is approved for, and what each costs without insurance.
