The oral semaglutide (sublingual dissolving) is like 10% as effective as the injected version. But it presumably could be given in higher doses to counteract that. I'd be shocked if the manufacturers aren't working on a more effective non-injectable version.

FWIW, you can inject half as much twice a week, or whatever schedule works for you. I do it every 3-4 days.

My wife was on daily doses and it made no difference. She's now having long-term problems, over a year after getting off of it.

What side effects/problems are you referring to?

Non-stop nausea and uncontrollable vomiting every day since. She's been to numerous doctors and even got her stomach scoped.
