Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist used for managing type 2 diabetes and for weight management. It mimics a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar and appetite. 

 Tirzepatide is a newer injectable medication that works similarly to semaglutide but with a broader effect. It activates both the GLP-1 and GIP (Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide) receptors to help control blood sugar and promote weight loss.

Both medications help lower blood sugar by increasing insulin secretion when blood sugar levels are elevated. They also slow gastric emptying, leading to reduced appetite and potential weight loss.
