Researchers found that a 1% reduction in body weight would cost $985 using tirzepatide versus $1,845 using semaglutide nearly double the cost.3 However, this might all go out the window as pharmaceutical companies decide to price their drugs differently, and weve seen providers of compounded GLP-1 RAs regularly charging more for tirzepatide than semaglutide
However, patients often ask whether metformin can be taken with GLP-1 medications or combined with tirzepatide
The FDA has specifically flagged risks with unapproved GLP-1 products and has reported dosing errors and hospitalizations associated with compounded injectable semaglutide
The marked heterogeneity of patients receiving GCs therapy further complicates the evaluation of the effects of GLP-1 RAs in this population
