Just for fun I decided to do the math to calculate the amount of Ozempic/semiglutide in my system based on the usualy dosing of every 7 days (in red), versus dosing every single day (at 1/7th) the dose (in green).
The two colors represent the upper and lower limit (it will at the upper limit right after a dose and at the lower limit right before a dose).
Notice that dosing every day makes for a much more stable concentration. Note this assumes a 1 mg dose (y-axis) and the x-axis is in days. I will start dosing every day tomorrow.
For those curious I also attached the equation that I calculated (derived) for the half-life. Both in its continuous form and as the summation.
I also inject semaglutide at the rate of 1mg/week for diabetes rather than weight loss.
Due to recurrent shortages of the injectable form, my endocrinologist has given me an alternative prescription for an oral version of semaglutide called Rybelsus(14mg/day) taken daily.
I wonder, firstly, why the injected form is prescribed if an oral form is available and whether the daily oral dose would be more effective than the injection as it would presumably deliver a more stable blood concentration of the medication than the weekly injection.
