Resaniglitide is not recognized in the medical literature as an approved obesity or diabetes medication. The question contains terminology that does not correspond to any FDA-approved drug or agent in clinical development.
The approved medications mentioned have the following characteristics:
Semaglutide (Wegovy for obesity, Ozempic/Rybelsus for diabetes) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist—not a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist as stated in the question. It activates GLP-1 receptors to stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion, slow gastric emptying, and increase satiety. For obesity, semaglutide 2.4 mg weekly produces mean weight loss of approximately 15-17%, and for type 2 diabetes, it reduces HbA1c by 1.6% at the 2.4 mg dose.
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro for diabetes, Zepbound for obesity) is correctly described as a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. It activates both GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, providing complementary mechanisms that enhance weight loss and glycemic control beyond GLP-1 agonism alone. Tirzepatide produces mean weight loss of 15-22.5% depending on dose and population, with HbA1c reductions of up to 2.6% in diabetes trials.
Head-to-head comparison shows tirzepatide produces approximately 5% greater weight loss than semaglutide 2.4 mg (mean difference 5.1%, 95% CI 0.6-9.8%), likely due to the additional GIP receptor agonism enhancing satiety through distinct brain pathways and directly regulating adipocyte metabolism.

Weight loss medications:
Your medical history and insurance coverage will determine which medication is appropriate for you. Here are the medications currently FDA-approved for weight loss therapy:
Semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide - injections, most effective but may not be covered by your insurance
Qsymia (phentermine/topiramate) - daily pill
Contrave (bupropion/naltrexone) - daily pill
Alli (orlistat) - 3 times daily pill (taken with meals), over the counter
Please track your calories with a calorie tracker application - such as MyFitnessPal or Cronometer
Aim for >200-300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity weekly. This is equivalent to 1 hour of exercise 5 days a week
1. GOALS: Target weight loss > 5% (16 lbs) over the next 3-4 months
2. DIET: See if you can track your daily calorie intake
Max 2600 calories daily
Protein: target ~ 140 grams/day
> Recommend daily protein shakes 30-35g each
3. Start walking at least 30min x 4times/week
Target exercise > 200 mins/week
4. Start zepbound 2.5mg weekly for 4 weeks. Notify our office if you are tolerating the medication well after 3 weeks so we can increase the dose to 5mg weekly
5. Please make an appointment with the nutritionist (bring your zepbound) and the sleep center for sleep apnea testing
