What Exists
Rybelsus is oral semaglutide approved for diabetes; it needs an empty stomach and a strict routine, and absorbs poorly. Oral Wegovy was approved for weight loss and works at a higher pill dose. Compounded sublingual (under-the-tongue) semaglutide and tirzepatide exist and are convenient, with less published data on absorption.
Coming
Orforglipron, a small-molecule GLP-1 pill from Lilly, finished late-stage trials with strong weight-loss results and is expected to be the first pill that does not need peptide absorption tricks. Several others are in development.
Pill vs Injection Today
Injection: once a week, predictable, strongest data. Pill: daily, easier for needle-averse people, more variable. We offer both and are honest about the difference.
Cost
Compounded sublingual semaglutide and tirzepatide are available alongside the injectables. Ask at the consultation. Every prescription at Zen IV Spa is written by a licensed provider under our medical director after a free video consultation. Medication ships to your door anywhere in New York or New Jersey, and a nurse can come to your home for labs or a first dose.
