Half-life estimate, not bloodwork or dosing advice. Disclaimer.
Rybelsus. Same ~7 day half-life as injectable semaglutide but taken daily. The plot is remaining milligrams of the tablet dose, not equivalent exposure to a 2.4 mg injection.
The default row models 3.00 mg as an oral dose, daily (ed), for 8 weeks.
Also called Oral semaglutide.
| Half-life | 7d |
|---|---|
| Time to peak | 1d |
| Parent hormone | 100% |
| Default dose | 3.00 mg |
| Default frequency | Daily (ED) |
| Default duration | 8 weeks |
On that default row the model counts 56 doses. Steady state is about day 35. Washout runs to about day 36. In the last interval the peak is 31.7 mg and the trough is 31.7 mg, a swing of 0%.
A half-life of 7d means a dose is still present at the next one, so the line climbs and then levels off.
Ozempic has a half-life of 7d against 7d on this page.
FDA Rybelsus label: half-life ~1 week; daily oral dosing. How the model works.
