Highlights from this day
switched from injectable to oral, lost some of the effect, switched back after 15 months, we shall see
how strict is the 30 minute wait before food for people here
😂2
why does the same tablet do different things week to week
does coffee count as plain water, asking for obvious reasons
nobody should copy my morning routine, but the timer is the bit i would keep
is there any point splitting an oral dose
is orforglipron a peptide at all
changed my mind on the plain water rule after reading how SNAC works, its not a formality

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

set a timer

coffee doesnt count
🤝4💀9
is the inconsistency people report about the drug or about how they take it
did anyone get consistent results on the oral or is it always patchy
whats the bioavailability actually like, i keep seeing about one percent
⚠️9🙏9
why is the oral dose in mg so much bigger than the injectable one
PIONEER not OASIS
the oral disappointed me on the mornings i couldnt manage 30 minutes fasted, which was most of them
i was wrong about the water amount, i was using a sip and it needs a lot more than that, i could be wrong
did anyone find the oral easier on the gut than the injection
PIONEER was the original oral semaglutide programme and OASIS looked at the higher oral doses
PIONEER or OASIS, which one was the higher dose oral
does the 30 minutes start from swallowing or from the water
SNAC raises the local pH and protects it long enough to cross, thats its whole job
for the archive is the non peptide thing why orforglipron doesnt need the fasting rules

anyone switched from injectable to oral and kept the same effect
tea also does not count, in case anyone was hoping
💀10
took 6 weeks before i saw anything on oral, roughly twice what the injection took me
orforglipron is a small molecule rather than a peptide, which is why the fasting conditions differ
technique probably
did OASIS use the same fasting conditions as the earlier work

how long before the oral did anything measurable for you
right so PIONEER was the original oral semaglutide programme and OASIS looked at the higher oral doses
ruined my breakfast
mine was patchy too
❤️10🤝9
the 30 minutes starts when you swallow it, and i set a timer because i cannot be trusted
the inconsistency is mostly technique and admitting that took me about a year
did anyone go back to injecting after trying oral
👍11
roughly one percent gets absorbed, which is why the tablet strength looks nothing like an injectable dose
🤝9
back after 19 months, has anything changed on the oral side
❤️12💀6😂1
big mg small dose
does SNAC do anything other than get it through the stomach
how much water exactly, is it a small sip or half a glass
🤝14
slightly off topic but anyone tracking whether their oral results line up week to week
the non peptide agents dose daily without the water ritual, thats the practical difference
