Highlights from this day
- sharps_bin_sid — the fasting rule cost me my breakfast routine and thats the real reason people quit the oral, anyway 08:33
- lisbon_lot — i was wrong about the water amount, i was using a sip and it needs a lot more than that, take that with a pinch of salt 10:00
- karl_fischer — did anyone find the oral easier on the gut than the injection 10:57
- karl_fischer — OASIS ran under the same sort of fasting conditions, thats not the variable between the two 11:52
tea also does not count, in case anyone was hoping
does the 30 minutes start from swallowing or from the water
does taking it with any food at all just waste the dose
for the archive PIONEER or OASIS, which one was the higher dose oral
while im here is the plain water rule actually load bearing or is it a formality
did OASIS use the same fasting conditions as the earlier work
thirty minutes, no cheating

is orforglipron a peptide at all
coming back to this i keep the tablet by the kettle so i take it before i think about food
coffee is not plain water. i tried it for a month and my results got worse
fasted every morning
big mg small dose
follow up one percent is the number people quote and the spread around it is the actual story
took mine with breakfast once by accident and that week was a write off, i have it written down somewhere
SNAC does the work

for the archive why does the same tablet do different things week to week
the fasting rule cost me my breakfast routine and thats the real reason people quit the oral, anyway

coffee doesnt count
technique probably
mine was patchy too
the oral mg number is bigger because almost none of it gets in, thats the entire reason, still working it out
splitting a dose made the absorption problem worse rather than better in my own log
orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ, still working it out
sorry to jump in lost 36kg over 25 months on oral, slower than my injectable stretch, i stuck with it anyway
is the absorption variability why the oral doses look so high
why is the oral dose in mg so much bigger than the injectable one
the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them

the non peptide agents dose daily without the water ritual, thats the practical difference, ill dig out the number
[edited]PIONEER was the original oral semaglutide programme and OASIS looked at the higher oral doses
set a timer
oral was easier on my gut than injecting at what felt like a similar effect, which surprised me
went back to injecting
did anyone find the oral easier on the gut than the injection
🤝10🔥3🎉12
took 20 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me
did anyone get consistent results on the oral or is it always patchy
the 30 minutes starts when you swallow it, and i set a timer because i cannot be trusted
went back to injecting because the morning routine was too fragile around shift work
changed my mind on the plain water rule after reading how SNAC works, its not a formality
OASIS ran under the same sort of fasting conditions, thats not the variable between the two

PIONEER not OASIS
my oral results were inconsistent week to week and i eventually decided it was me, not the tablet, your mileage will differ
i use it because needles are a genuine problem for me, not because i think its better
i do 6am with water and eat at 7, thats been my routine for 8 months
roughly one percent gets absorbed, which is why the tablet strength looks nothing like an injectable dose
nobody should copy my morning routine, but the timer is the bit i would keep
not a peptide
plain water only

SNAC raises the local pH and protects it long enough to cross, thats its whole job, someone check my working
about one percent
is the inconsistency people report about the drug or about how they take it
