How do you take these medications

Tirzepatide and semaglutide, powerful tools in managing diabetes and obesity, are administered via injection, and here’s why: These medications are peptides, which means if taken orally, they’d be broken down in the stomach and intestines, just like food proteins, rendering them ineffective. By injecting them, we bypass the digestive system, allowing the drugs to maintain their structure and function effectively. This delivery method ensures that they can directly enter the bloodstream and perform their intended roles in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite, offering substantial benefits for glucose control and weight management in a way oral drugs cannot.
