Oral Wegovy Results Are In

What if the so-called “crappy cousin” of Ozempic—Rybelsus—wasn’t so disappointing after all? Oral Wegovy, the pill form of semaglutide, is showing results that rival injections when taken correctly.

In the OASIS-4 trial, a 25 mg daily dose led to an average 16.6% weight loss in 64 weeks. That’s impressive, but the routine is strict: one pill first thing in the morning, only with water, and then no food, meds, or even coffee for 30 minutes. Miss that step and absorption plummets.

Side effects like nausea and constipation were common, though less intense than at higher doses. For some, a daily pill could be a real alternative to injections—especially if needles are a barrier. For others, the once-weekly shot may still feel easier.

At the end of the day, oral Wegovy isn’t perfect, but it’s a legitimate new tool. For the right person, it could make the difference between starting treatment and never starting at all.

Thanks for watching and always remember: small tweaks lead to massive peaks!
