Mounjaro vs Wegovy vs. Rybelsus vs. Others: Demystifying Weight Loss M – CheqUp

Demystifying loss medications 

Understand the differences and find the right solution for you. Get expert guidance with CheqUp.

Drug Names vs. Marketing Brands

It's important to understand that medications often have two names: 

  • Drug Name: The name of the active ingredient (e.g., Semaglutide, Liraglutide). 
  • Marketing/Brand Name: The name used by the manufacturer for the specific product (e.g., Wegovy, Saxenda).

Key Medication Classes

GLP-1 Agonists: Wegovy, Rybelsus, Ozempic, Saxenda, Mounjaro 

 

These medications mimic natural gut hormones, making you feel full and leading to reduced food intake:

 

  • Tirzepatide (Mounjaro): A dual-action medication with the greatest proven weight loss of any approved medication
  • Semaglutide: The active ingredient in Wegovy (injection), Rybelsus (tablet), and Ozempic (injection, primarily for diabetes). Wegovy offers the highest dose in this class for weight management. 
  • Liraglutide (Saxenda): An earlier generation GLP-1 medication with good weight loss results. 

 

Lipase Inhibitors: 

 

Orlistat/Xenical This medication prevents fat absorption in the intestine, leading to calorie reduction.

How Do Weight Loss Medications Work?

GLP-1 Agonists mimic gut hormones that signal fullness, also called "satiety" which encourages you to eat less and lose weight. Read more about how GLP-1 medications work here. Orlistat works differently by blocking fat absorption.

Key Considerations When Choosing

  • Preference for Injections vs. Tablets: If you have a strong aversion to needles, Rybelsus (oral tablet) may be a better choice if you are living with type 2 diabetes 
  • Desired Weight Loss: Mounjaro generally offers greater weight loss potential compared to Wegovy or Rybelsus.
  • Availability: Wegovy and Rybelsus may experience shortages at times. Mounjaro has just been released to enter the UK market in March with Chequp being one of the few market providers. 
  • Individual Response: Everyone responds differently to medication. Your CheqUp doctor will help determine the best starting point for you.
