In the Wegovy clinical trial, participants receiving 2.4 mg semaglutide every week (with gradual increase to 2.4 mg) lost about 10% of their mean body weight after 28 weeks. In the Mounjaro clinical trial, participants receiving the maximum tolerated tirzepatide dose of 10 or 15 mg lost about 20% mean body weight after 36 weeks.
