Ano ang Weight Loss Drug Comparison?

The Weight Loss Drug Comparison Calculator lets you compare the efficacy, cost, side effect profile, and dosing convenience of all major anti-obesity medications including semaglutide, tirzepatide, phentermine, orlistat, naltrexone-bupropion, and liraglutide. It uses clinical trial data to rank options by your priorities.

Pormula

Comparison Score = (Efficacy Weight × %BWL) + (Cost Weight × Affordability Index) + (Side Effect Weight × Tolerability Score)
%BWL
Body Weight Loss (%) — Mean percentage of body weight lost in clinical trials
C
Monthly Cost ($/month) — Average monthly out-of-pocket cost
T
Tolerability Score (0-100) — Inverse of discontinuation rate due to adverse events in trials
R
Route of Administration (text) — Oral, subcutaneous injection, or other delivery method

Mga Karaniwang Mali na Dapat Iwasan

  • Comparing short-term trial data (12 weeks for phentermine) with long-term data (68 weeks for semaglutide)
  • Not considering that some medications are FDA-approved for short-term use only (phentermine)
  • Ignoring contraindications — not all medications are safe for all patients (e.g., phentermine is contraindicated with uncontrolled hypertension)

Mga madalas itanong

Which weight loss drug is most effective?

As of 2024, tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) shows the highest average weight loss in clinical trials at 20.8% body weight loss, followed by semaglutide (Wegovy) at 14.9%. However, individual responses vary, and the best medication depends on your medical history, insurance, and tolerability.

Can I combine weight loss medications?

Some combinations are used off-label (e.g., GLP-1 + metformin, or GLP-1 + phentermine), but combining two GLP-1 receptor agonists is not recommended. Always consult your prescriber before combining any weight loss medications, as interactions and additive side effects can be dangerous.
