Is Oral Semaglutide Effective?

Table Of Contents

Semaglutide has become a favorite solution for weight management and to regulate type-2 diabetes. It is a glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonist, which treats type 2 diabetes by triggering more insulin production and managing blood sugar levels. The magic of Semaglutide also lies in sending a message to the brain to feel full and not hungry, thus helping many in their weight loss regime. Oral semaglutide is equally effective as injections. Let’s see through this article.

Understanding the Need for Semaglutide

Semaglutide is like killing two birds with one stone, helping in regulating type – 2 diabetes and reducing weight. With millions of patients worldwide, both conditions are considered chronic. With the dosage of semaglutide, you can regulate blood sugar levels which can protect you from many other diseases. Not only this, but semaglutide also helps to reduce weight by contributing to insulin regulation and maintaining a healthy weight with improved blood sugar.

How effective is Oral Semaglutide?

Studies have proved that oral semaglutide has the same effects as the injections and here are the reasons: 

  1. It Stimulates Insulin: With the oral semaglutide, you can expect to have your insulin in place. With this, it treats type 2 diabetes well. 
  2. Reduce Cardiovascular Disease: Once the insulin is properly regulated, it reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. 
  3. Control Blood Sugar: It also improves the glycemic – blood sugar- that helps in the early stages of diabetes with benefits to the metabolism.
  4. Regulates Weight Loss: It gives the signal to the brain that you are full and reduces the chance of random eating. Thus, it helps in regulating weight.

Advantages of Oral Semaglutide Over Injectable 

They both present the same benefits, however, there are some differences to notice, such as: 

  1. Dosage: In the oral method, it can be taken daily and the effectiveness is typically higher as the digestive system breaks down the medication before it reaches the target area. It increases the chances of effective absorption by the body. 
  2. Easy to Take: Oral medication is easier to take as it does not require needles.
  3. Combine With Healthy Diet: Oral mediation of Semaglutide works more effectively when combined with a healthy diet. 

Important Point to Consider

Remember that, the decision to take an oral or injectable semaglutide must be advised by a doctor. Before the consultation with a doctor, you will not be aware if you need injections or oral medication. So, talk to your doctor to get the best medication you deserve. 

Final Thought

Semaglutide is effective in managing both chronic health conditions, type -2 diabetes, and weight gain. This makes it a popular choice for many. By regulating blood sugar levels it reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Also by stimulating insulin, it helps in giving the feeling of fullness which reduces the urge to eat randomly during the day. If you are considering taking oral semaglutide, you must talk to your doctor first.

Kiara DeWitt, BSN, RN, CPN founded InjectCo in early 2021 while also heading up the neurosurgery + neurology unit at Cook Children’s Pediatric Hospital as lead clinical educator. After completing her Bachelor's degree at Texas Christian University, Kiara realized just how much the aesthetic medicine industry was missing, wishing it was more focused on ethical decision-making and building relationships. Kiara’s dream was to create an atmosphere for her patients where they feel loved, empowered, and comfortable. She believes in a “lead to serve” mentality, hoping to create a more personal connection with both her patients and team alike. Kiara curated a team of 13 professionals across eight clinics, six of which are in DFW, one in Houston, and one in Austin.
Kiara loves nothing more than creating a collaborating, educational approach with her team, and thrives on personal and professional growth opportunities. She hopes that her patients feel heard and encouraged at every InjectCo visit and that they are truly excited about their personalized and well-designed aesthetic treatment plan. This love for education and safety in the industry led her to later found Texas Academy of Medical Aesthetics, an accredited training program that specializes in a 100+ hour aesthetic injector internship where students are able to train and shadow at all eight of InjectCo’s clinics.


Kiara’s patients recognize her and the entire InjectCo team as highly skilled and extremely thorough clinicians. She hopes to continue being a knowledgeable and approachable resource for clinical injectors across the country who are hoping to grow and scale their aesthetic business.
