Marketing loves a big number. Here's what the clinical trials actually measured, average body-weight loss at the highest dose, over roughly 72 weeks, alongside diet and activity changes:

- **Mounjaro (tirzepatide)**: around 20 to 22.5% average at the highest doses, the class leader

- **Wegovy injection (semaglutide 2.4mg)**: around 15%; up to roughly 20% at the 7.2mg dose

- **Wegovy pill (oral semaglutide)**: around 13.6 to 14%

- **Foundayo (orforglipron)**: 11.2% at the highest dose in ATTAIN-1

### Reading those numbers honestly

They're averages, individual results spread widely in both directions. They assume consistent use over more than a year. And weight typically returns if the medicine stops without other changes in place, which is why Foundayo's licence covering weight maintenance after injections matters.

Higher efficacy usually means a higher price, but the right medicine is the one a prescriber matches to your health, then you find its best price: [Monj](https://monj.co.uk) · [iGovy](https://igovy.co.uk) · [oGovy](https://ogovy.co.uk) · [Dayo](https://dayo.co.uk).
