Zepbound may lead to greater weight loss than Ozempic, but it is not necessarily better for everyone. In a 72-week study, people using Zepbound lost more body weight than those using Wegovy (semaglutide). However, Wegovy doses differ slightly from Ozempic, and Ozempic has broader uses than Zepbound. The best option depends on individual health needs and provider guidance.
