  • What is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide, and how do I know which one is right for me?

    Semaglutide and tirzepatide are both injectable GLP-1 medications used for medical weight loss, but they work through slightly different mechanisms — tirzepatide targets an additional hormone pathway that some patients respond to more strongly. A provider at Garcia Family Medicine will review your medical history, weight loss goals, and coverage to recommend the best option for your situation.
