The amount of weight you can lose on semaglutide depends on the calorie deficit the drug brings on.

Different medications are effective for different people, but semaglutide and tirzepatide are arguably the most popular weight loss medications. The FDA has approved several different drugs for weight loss, but some are only approved for individuals with diabetes.
