This guide was written by the pharmacist team at Potter's House Apothecary to help you understand what sublingual semaglutide actually is, how it compares to other delivery formats, what the research says, and what to expect if your provider determines it may be appropriate for your health goals
The therapeutic effects of semaglutide stem from its high-affinity binding to GLP-1 receptors, which are G-protein-coupled receptors distributed throughout multiple organ systems
Always inform your doctor that you are taking semaglutide, specifying the brand name (Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus), dose, and how long you have been on the medication
