Why tirzepatide costs more than semaglutide
Tirzepatide is a newer, dual-receptor medication and the compounded raw material is more expensive. The difference per month is ~$51 — small in dollars, often large in results.
Activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors — broader metabolic effect than semaglutide's single receptor.
Recently developed, fewer compounding suppliers, supply constraints persist.
15–22% in published Eli Lilly trials vs 10–15% for semaglutide (STEP).
Many patients describe an earlier appetite-suppression effect in the first month.
