Frequently asked questions
What are GLP-1 medications and how do they differ?
These terms all refer to the same family of weight loss medications, just at different levels of specificity.
GLP-1 is the drug class — a group of medications that work by mimicking a hormone that regulates appetite. All the drugs below are GLP-1s (or variants of them).
Semaglutide is an active ingredient. It comes in two branded forms: Ozempic (originally approved for type 2 diabetes) and Wegovy (approved specifically for weight loss, at a higher dose). When people say they want "Ozempic for weight loss," what they actually need is Wegovy — it's the same molecule, prescribed for the right purpose.
Tirzepatide is a newer active ingredient that targets two hormones instead of one (GLP-1 and GIP), which is why trial results show slightly higher average weight loss. The branded version available in the UK is Mounjaro.
Retatrutide is the next generation — targeting three hormones — and showed up to 24% body weight loss in early trials. It isn't approved in the UK yet.
At Juniper, we prescribe Wegovy and Mounjaro — the two licensed, clinically proven options available in the UK right now. If you've been researching Ozempic or semaglutide, Wegovy is exactly what you're looking for.
