These oral doses are significantly higher than injection doses because oral bioavailability of semaglutide is much lower than injectable bioavailability
In February 2021, the researchers published the findings from their trial in The New England Journal of Medicine, showing that patients using semaglutide lost almost 15% of their body weight, on average, compared with 2.4% among patients who got the placebo

Effectiveness is individual
When blood sugar levels fall into the normal or low range, tirzepatide's stimulation of insulin secretion diminishes accordingly
Separate patents may cover the formulation that keeps semaglutide stable, the dosing mechanism, and the design of the injection device itself
