They're also diabetes medicine.

Excerpt from mayo clinic

Semaglutide injection is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is used together with diet and exercise to help control your blood sugar. This medicine is also used to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in patients with type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart or blood vessel disease.

    Zepbound and Wegovy are weight loss formulations, not diabetes formulations.

    Zepbound is identical to Mounjaro, except Mounjaro is prescribed just for diabetes while Zepbound is prescribed for obesity and sleep apnea. Wegovy is the same drug as the diabetes medication Ozempic, but it has different dosing once you get over 1 mg.
