Pills vs. Shots: My Semaglutide Switch

[Jamie1988]

Oral sema absorbs less efficiently - you need more dose to match injected results.

Wouldn't personally go with the pill option over the injectable. Daily dosing is required and it's simply less potent. The injectable is weekly instead, fast and virtually painless.

Switching to the daily oral option keeps suppression consistent day to day. Just make sure to follow the instructions exactly though, no flexibility there with how it's taken.

Switching to the wegovy pill pushed my cycle back by two weeks this time around. Normally I'm right on schedule give or take a day or two.

Wouldn't personally recommend it, though I'm no medical expert. How long does that pill actually stay active in your system? Definitely something worth asking your prescriber directly.

Hey, also just switched to oral tablets yesterday, generic version too. In my situation the provider suggested trying the oral route first before considering the injectable option down the line if needed.
