Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are two popular medications for managing Type 2 diabetes. These once-weekly injections have many similarities, but they also have several key differences. Ozempic and Mounjaro both work by acting like natural gut hormones (incretins). But Mounjaro acts like two incretins while Ozempic only acts like one. Because of this, Mounjaro can lead to greater blood glucose (sugar) reduction and weight loss than Ozempic for many people. But keep in mind that neither medication is FDA approved for weight loss.
There’s a lot to know when comparing these diabetes medications. Below, we’ve prepared a fun, quick Ozempic or Mounjaro quiz to test your knowledge about them.
