How Long Does InjectCo’s Oral Semaglutide Program Take to Work?

Table Of Contents

Weight management can be a very demanding, often tedious process. There are, however, programs that incorporate weight loss medications, like oral semaglutide in Texas, to effectively support your journey and lead to more significant weight loss by regulating appetite, controlling calorie intake, and lowering blood sugar levels, especially if you’re not a fan of injections.

If you’re wondering, does oral semaglutide work for weight loss when incorporated in a program? The short answer: Yes. But let’s take it a step further and address another pressing question: how long does it take for oral semaglutide to work, or how fast does compounded semaglutide work in a program?

Oral semaglutide results kick in within the first week of the patient being in the program. Here’s a quick overview of InjectCo’s nurse-guided oral semaglutide program, and a timeline of how soon semaglutide works:

  • 24 to 48 hours: Peak concentration happens 1 hour after you first ingest oral semaglutide, but you’ll only feel the weight loss effects of the program, like slowing gastric emptying, on the first few days.
  • 1 to 4 weeks: Appetite suppression happens, reducing food noise and resulting in fewer cravings.
  • 2 to 3 months: Steady, consistent weight loss from our program, and gastrointestinal side effects, like stomach pain and nausea, subside as the body fully adjusts.
  • 3 to 6 months: Substantial weight loss and significant improvements to your overall metabolic health.
  • After 6 months: An average weight loss of 10–15% of your body weight and improved blood sugar levels as part of our long-term plan.

While our program at InjectCo typically follows this timeline, final results may vary per patient, depending on certain factors, such as your starting body weight, metabolism, and lifestyle habits like your diet and exercise. The process of our oral semaglutide program, from appetite suppression to blood sugar regulation, is often gradual yet consistent based on our oral semaglutide drops reviews, helping patients manage weight loss through a physician-led, personalized treatment plan.

Since every patient responds differently to the medication, our weight management program is designed to specifically target your unique weight loss goals. If you want to know more about how fast our GLP-1 program works, read on.

Weight Loss Timeline in Our Oral Semaglutide Program

Many patients often wonder how long until glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) starts working when incorporated into a weight loss program. Our nurse-guided weight management plan at InjectCo helps you experience significant weight loss once you reach the 3- or 6-month mark, though the program gradually starts working within 24–48 hours of taking semaglutide for weight loss.

So, how fast does semaglutide work when incorporated into a physician-led weight loss program? Let’s find out through this oral semaglutide weight loss timeline below.

24 to 48 hours

In our oral semaglutide program, peak concentration happens approximately an hour after your first absorption or intake. This is when you take oral semaglutide on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before food, drinks, or other medications, and start to feel the initial effects of the program, such as slowed gastric emptying which allows you to feel fuller more quickly.

1 to 4 weeks

The next part of the timeline is increased appetite suppression, which happens during the first few weeks to the first month of being on the oral semaglutide program. This results in reduced “food noise” (otherwise known as food cravings), controlled appetite, and increased fullness at a steady, growing rate based on your program dosage.

2 to 3 months

If stay consistent with our oral semaglutide program at InjectCo, what follows is likewise steady, consistent weight loss. After 2–3 months, our patients begin to see significant weight loss results, and gastrointestinal side effects, such as stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting, subside as your body fully adjusts to the program.

All of this may happen if you continue with the program, in which our master nurse injectors ensure ongoing support and guidance through regular consultations about your weight loss goals.

3 to 6 months

Once you’ve been on our oral semaglutide program for 3 to 6 months, you’ll begin to see a significant reduction in your weight and noticeable improvements in your overall metabolic health. Long-term blood sugar control also becomes more apparent. 

Based on semaglutide before and after results, this is also around the time many patients reach maximum weight loss from our program.

After 6 months

Once you’ve gone past the 6-month mark on our oral semaglutide program, our long-term plan allows continued, long-term use for further weight loss and improved blood sugar levels or glycemic control, supporting your weight loss goals with consistent results. 

Our licensed, experienced providers will continue to expertly assess your current body weight and weight loss goals to recommend dosing adjustments, if needed, as your progress develops and you go further into our program.

How Long Does It Take to Suppress Appetite in Our Oral Semaglutide Program?

Appetite suppression becomes most evident after a patient’s first few weeks to a month on our oral semaglutide program at InjectCo, with the full effects developing over 2 to 4 months. The appetite-suppressing effects of our program typically lead to the following outcomes:

  • Improved glycemic control or blood sugar control (reaching healthy, average blood sugar levels)
  • Slowed gastric emptying, allowing you to feel fuller for longer
  • Less food noise, leading to fewer cravings
  • Reduced food intake/caloric intake

Our weight loss program may help you shed pounds in just the first 4 weeks, though it’s always important to remember that full weight loss results may vary per patient depending on unique factors that affect how long it takes to see results from our semaglutide program.

Factors Affecting How Fast Our Oral Semaglutide Program Works

To determine if our program is the right fit for you, let’s review the different factors affecting our oral semaglutide program’s time to work.

1. Starting Body Weight

Your initial body weight is one of the most important determining factors of how fast our oral semaglutide program works, as this differs per person and will depend on your weight goals.

2. Dosage

Aside from your baseline body weight, higher doses tend to be administered or adjusted during the program based on a patient’s varying needs. This affects how fast semaglutide works when incorporated into our program.

3. Metabolism

Every patient’s metabolism differs, which is why losing weight can be a difficult process in the first place. Your body’s metabolic activity may affect how long before our GLP-1 program works for you, though at the same time, your metabolic health will also, ultimately, be enhanced by our nurse-guided program as an effect. 

At InjectCo, we take your unique needs into serious consideration when creating a personalized treatment plan for you.

4. Lifestyle or Healthy Habits

Healthy lifestyle changes, such as healthy diet/balanced diet and regular exercise routines, maximize the effectiveness of our oral semaglutide program in giving your desired results.

Aside from healthier eating habits, drinking alcohol is also not allowed. Other lifestyle factors, such as stress management, may offer additional health benefits when incorporated into the program.
