For Gilbert patients, tirzepatide (Zepbound) typically produces ~22% body weight loss vs ~15% for semaglutide (Wegovy) over 72 weeks.

Both ship to Gilbert; compounded tirzepatide ($158/mo) is slightly cheaper than compounded semaglutide ($199/mo). Most Gilbert clinicians now prefer tirzepatide for new patients without contraindications.
