GLP-1 drug classes, side by side.
Two families dominate the GLP-1 conversation: single-receptor agonists (semaglutide, liraglutide) and dual GIP/GLP-1 co-agonists (tirzepatide). Mechanism, FDA status, and partner pricing differ — here's the line-up.
Class
GIP/GLP-1 Co-agonists
Dual receptor agonists that activate both GIP and GLP-1 receptors for enhanced weight loss and glycemic control.
