The market is currently dominated by two monolithic compounds: Semaglutide (marketed as Ozempic and Wegovy) and Tirzepatide (marketed as Mounjaro and Zepbound)

We could expect a 15-20% pickup in our patients with type-2 diabetes, he said

Tirzepatide frequently causes nausea (12-22% of patients), diarrhea (12-16%), vomiting (6-10%), constipation (6-7%), and abdominal discomfort, particularly during dose escalation
