Highlights from this day
  • fridge_thermo — anyone tracking whether their oral results line up week to week 18:01
  • wick_weighs — took 26 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me 18:22
  • quiet_head_qi — quick one roughly one percent gets absorbed, which is why the tablet strength looks nothing like an injectable dose 19:20
  • bea_reconstitutes — i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 7 months, happy to be corrected OASIS ran under the same sort of fasting conditions, thats not the… 19:26
  • warsaw_vial — switched from injectable to oral, lost some of the effect, switched back after 17 months, for what its worth 20:22

one percent is the number people quote and the spread around it is the actual story, from memory

the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them

TF

does SNAC do anything other than get it through the stomach

TF

my oral results were inconsistent week to week and i eventually decided it was me, not the tablet, i could be wrong

TF

i use it because needles are a genuine problem for me, not because i think its better

FT

update on the earlier thing the fasting window is the difference between a dose and a very expensive tablet

WW

took 26 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me

🤝17💀7🎉18

anyone switched from injectable to oral and kept the same effect

did anyone go back to injecting after trying oral

WW

did anyone get consistent results on the oral or is it always patchy

OASIS ran under the same sort of fasting conditions, thats not the variable between the two, n of 1 obviously

FT

plain water only, about half a glass, then nothing for 30 minutes. i follow it exactly

SNAC raises the local pH and protects it long enough to cross, thats its whole job

WW

the oral mg number is bigger because almost none of it gets in, thats the entire reason

WW

for the archive why is the oral dose in mg so much bigger than the injectable one

does the 30 minutes start from swallowing or from the water

PIONEER not OASIS

QH

quick one roughly one percent gets absorbed, which is why the tablet strength looks nothing like an injectable dose

lost 41kg over 19 months on oral, slower than my injectable stretch, i stuck with it anyway

orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ

i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 7 months, happy to be corrected

FT

absorption is the variable, not the molecule. same tablet, different morning, different result

SNAC does the work

MC

the non peptide orals are the interesting part of this channel now, not oral semaglutide, for what its worth

is the plain water rule actually load bearing or is it a formality

TT

is the inconsistency people report about the drug or about how they take it

tea also does not count, in case anyone was hoping

LM

whats the bioavailability actually like, i keep seeing about one percent

i take mine at 6am, is 30 minutes really enough

TT

took mine with breakfast once by accident and that week was a write off, i could be wrong

VB

Inter-lab diff for lot E-2205: 98.6% vs 98.1%. Within expected range.

BR

changed my mind on the plain water rule after reading how SNAC works, its not a formality
