Oral vs. Injectable Semaglutide: Which Is Better?

[Alice069]

You’re considering semaglutide for weight loss or blood sugar control, you might be wondering: Is the oral or injectable version better? Here’s a quick breakdown:

Oral Semaglutide

Convenient, no needles required

Taken daily on an empty stomach with water

Slightly lower absorption compared to injections

May not be as potent at higher doses

Injectable Semaglutide

Weekly dosing = fewer reminders

Higher absorption and effectiveness

More consistent weight loss & blood sugar control

Requires comfort with self-injections
Which One Should You Choose?

If you prefer a daily pill and want to avoid injections, oral semaglutide is a great option.

If you want maximum effectiveness with fewer doses, the injection might be better.
Both options work by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and regulating blood sugar, but injectable semaglutide is often more effective at higher doses for weight loss.

Imo...as far as effects and bioavailability....injecting always trumps an oral route.

Yes, of course injecting is good for effects and bioavailability. But stll part of people are afraid of injection, they prefer to oral.
