Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) and liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda) are two other GLP-1 weight loss medications that can cause constipation

While theyre fundamentally similar medications, they differ slightly in their mechanism of action: Wegovy (semaglutide) is a GLP-1 agonist Zepbound (tirzepatide) is a dual agonist: GLP-1 + a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) Both semaglutide and tirzepatide affect the hypothalamus and the hedonic eating centers, the brains center of appetite and cravings
