The short version
- Weight-loss medications split into single-receptor and dual-receptor agonists, which differ in mechanism rather than only in strength of effect.
- Dosing schedules differ across the class, with both daily and weekly regimens appearing in the comparison of oral and injectable options.
- Delivery routes include both oral and injectable options, so injection aversion is a real differentiator when two drugs are otherwise comparable.
- Each option carries its own efficacy range and side-effect profile, which is why the choice is made with a provider rather than from a list.
