Mounjaro vs. Wegovy: Which weight loss medication is right for me?
Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are effective medications for weight loss, but the best choice for you depends on your individual response. It's possible that only one is suitable for you, or that one works better than the other in your case. While they operate similarly, Mounjaro is a dual agonist and so has a broader effect on hormones than Wegovy.
