Your 2025 Guide to Choosing the Right Weight Loss Medication
If you’ve recently visited a weight loss or obesity clinic in Korea,
you’ve probably heard of Wegovy and Mounjaro.
These two medications have gained global attention for their powerful weight loss effects,
and now in Korea, prices have started to come down.
But many still wonder:
👉 “Which one is right for me?”
👉 “Is it finally affordable?”
Here’s a fresh comparison as of August 2025:
| Category | Wegovy | Mounjaro |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredient | Semaglutide (GLP-1) | Tirzepatide (GLP-1 + GIP) |
| Manufacturer | Novo Nordisk | Eli Lilly |
| Purpose | Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes | Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes |
| Administration | Weekly subcutaneous injection | Weekly subcutaneous injection |
| Korea Approval | Fully approved for weight loss | Approved for diabetes; weight loss under limited conditions |
| Medication | 2023–2024 Price | 2025 Price |
|---|---|---|
| Wegovy | ₩300,000–₩400,000/month | ₩200,000–₩300,000/month |
| Mounjaro | ₩500,000–₩600,000/month | ₩350,000–₩450,000/month |
💡 Many clinics now offer discounts with regular prescriptions and consultation packages.
It’s recommended to compare at least 2 or more clinics before committing.
| Wegovy | Mounjaro |
|---|---|
| ~15% average body weight reduction | Up to 20%+ body weight reduction |
| GLP-1 receptor stimulation only | Dual GLP-1 + GIP receptor stimulation |
👉 In terms of pure weight loss, Mounjaro may be more effective,
but cost, side effects, and access are also important factors.
| Common Side Effects | Nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, appetite loss |
|---|---|
| Wegovy | More frequent reports of GI-related issues |
| Mounjaro | GI symptoms + potential temporary increase in heart rate |
📌 Both medications require gradual dose escalation to minimize side effects.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions closely.
| Your Situation | Recommended Option |
|---|---|
| First-time user / Budget-conscious | Wegovy |
| Severe obesity or with diabetes | Mounjaro |
| Want faster weight loss | Mounjaro (Be cautious with side effects) |
| Looking for long-term, stable use | Wegovy (More safety data available) |
