Introduction
Semaglutide is a powerful weight loss tool, but should you go with oral dissolving tablets or injections like Ozempic? Let’s compare the pros and cons of each.
Absorption and Efficacy
- Injections: Directly enter the bloodstream, with predictable pharmacokinetics.
- Oral Dissolving Tablets: Absorbed sublingually or buccally, still effective but may vary slightly by user.
Convenience
- Injections: Weekly, but require needles, alcohol swabs, and sometimes refrigeration.
- Tablets: Daily or several times per week, needle-free and portable.
Side Effects
Both forms may include nausea, vomiting, and appetite suppression. Many users find the oral version gentler on the system.
Cost Considerations
Oral semaglutide tablets—especially compounded—can be significantly more affordable than branded injections.
Patient Preference
- Ideal for tablet: Those with needle aversion or busy travel schedules.
- Ideal for injection: Those who prefer weekly dosing and have access to insurance coverage.
Conclusion
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best choice depends on your lifestyle, preferences, and medical guidance.
