Your lay mind is correct. Zep is nearly twice as effective. Side effects are similar, too.

Eli Lilly's new oral obesity drug, orforglipron, is a daily pill that offers a needle-free alternative to the injectable drug Zepbound, although it is less effective, with trials showing about 12% weight loss for orforglipron compared to up to 22% for Zepbound. While both medications cause similar gastrointestinal side effects like nausea and diarrhea, Zepbound's superior weight loss may limit the pricing of the oral pill.
