Based on 22 randomized controlled trials (18,472 participants), the researchers found that tirzepatide 15 mg was most efficacious in reducing HbA1c versus placebo (mean difference [MD], 2.00 percent), followed by tirzepatide 10 mg (MD, 1.86 percent) and semaglutide 2.0 mg (MD, 1.62 percent)

Its pill contains the same drug as the shot, giving doctors and patients a lot of information to work with, and it appears more effective than Eli Lilly's GLP-1 pill
