Yea, but it doesn’t have the effectiveness of the injectable forms of GLP-1
Less than 1% of the active ingredient in Rybelsus is absorbed into your body after it passes through the stomach. And there’s quite a bit of variability in the absorption rate between people.
About 80% of the active ingredient is absorbed with the injectable forms of GLP-1, so it’s easier to maintain the desired level of the medication in the patient.
That’s the problem that the companies working on a tablet form of GLP-1 are looking at. How do you protect the molecule as it passes through the stomach, so that the proper dose is absorbed in the colon?
