Short clinical commentary (German) by Dr. Charles Mok comparing semaglutide and tirzepatide. The speaker notes tirzepatide (described as a GIP-targeting agent) may have fewer side effects and somewhat greater efficacy anecdotally, but semaglutide remains the primary drug in their practice because it was cheaper and more available. As prices and availability change, some patients have been switched to tirzepatide. The speaker also describes using stepped or intermittent dosing (periodic on/off) to reduce drug exposure and cost and to manage tolerance/intolerance.
