Evaluating the Efficacy and Pharmacoeconomics of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide in the Setting of Obesity
nd the financial impact it may have on overall health care costs. This article explores the efficacy and pharmacoeconomics of incretin mimetics, semaglutide and tirzepatide, in the setting of obesity....
Conclusions: Obesity is associated with burdensome health complications and costs. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are effective drug options for the management of obesity. The cost of these medications will no doubt present a challenge to the total health care expenditures, although the cost–benefit ratio may ultimately be favorable.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates a significant and growing public interest in “Ozempic” and related GLP-1 agonists. As the use of GLP-1 agonists for weight loss becomes more prevalent, plastic surgeons, particularly in the aesthetic setting, must be prepared for the downstream implications. Increased awareness, understanding, and...
