What are the differences in administration methods for GLP-1 medicines?

GLP-1 medicines are primarily administered via injections, which can be either daily or weekly, depending on the specific medication prescribed. Some newer formulations are available as pens that make self-administration easier and more convenient. In contrast, there are no currently available oral forms of these medications. It’s crucial to follow your healthcare provider's instructions on how to administer the medication properly to ensure its effectiveness. If you have concerns about injections, speak to your healthcare provider about your options.
