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

does taking it with any food at all just waste the dose

PIONEER not OASIS

i was wrong about the water amount, i was using a sip and it needs a lot more than that

set a timer

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

went back to injecting

took mine with breakfast once by accident and that week was a write off, anyway

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

does coffee count as plain water, asking for obvious reasons

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

follow up is the inconsistency people report about the drug or about how they take it
the fasting rule cost me my breakfast routine and thats the real reason people quit the oral

Assay note: QST lot KP-0925 reported at 99.2% of label content.

does SNAC do anything other than get it through the stomach

my weekly log on oral is noisier than my injectable log ever was, same scales same mornings

tea also does not count, in case anyone was hoping

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

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

while im here how much water exactly, is it a small sip or half a glass

does the 30 minutes start from swallowing or from the water

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

update on the earlier thing switched from injectable to oral, lost some of the effect, switched back after 7 months

slightly off topic but orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ

i keep the tablet by the kettle so i take it before i think about food

did anyone find the oral easier on the gut than the injection

i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 16 months, i have it written down somewhere
