Abstract: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus represent major global health challenges, requiring effective and integrated therapeutic approaches. In this context, semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, and tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, have emerged as innovative treatment options. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of these therapies in glycemic control and obesity regression. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, using PubMed, SciELO, and LILACS databases, including studies published between 2022 and 2026. A total of 25 studies were selected, including clinical trials, systematic reviews, and observational studies. The results demonstrated that tirzepatide achieved greater reductions in glycated hemoglobin and body weight compared to semaglutide. Both therapies showed additional benefits, including improvements in cardiovascular and metabolic parameters, as well as positive effects on metabolic liver disease. Regarding safety, both drugs presented similar profiles, with predominantly mild to moderate gastrointestinal adverse effects. The discussion highlighted that the dual mechanism of tirzepatide enhances its metabolic effects, resulting in greater overall efficacy. However, semaglutide remains clinically relevant due to its strong evidence base and broader accessibility. In conclusion, tirzepatide shows superior efficacy in the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity, although both therapies are effective and safe. Treatment choice should be individualized, considering clinical characteristics and socioeconomic context.
