Medications like semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) are generally superior to diet and exercise alone in terms of the total amount of weight loss achieved
For example, with semaglutide (Ozempic), the recommended titration schedule for type 2 diabetes involves starting with a 0.25 mg dose once weekly for four weeks, followed by an increase to 0.5 mg once weekly for at least four weeks
