Background: The human GLP-1 receptor agonist, semaglutide, functions by binding to albumin, which is facilitated
by modifying position 26 lysine with a hydrophilic spacer and a C18 fatty di-acid. In this study, Novo Nordisk's Ozempic
(Semaglutide/1.5 mL (1.34 mg/mL) solution for injection and Rybelsus (Semaglutide) 14 mg tablets) were compared
to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of Semaglutide after oral and subcutaneous administration in healthy
subjects. Through the Flash Glucose Monitoring System with a sensor, we evaluated the pharmacodynamic response
of semaglutide the absorption of glucose into the blood when the drug was administered in two different routes,
using Novo Nordisk's Semaglutide 3 mg tablets in healthy subjects. To evaluate pharmacokinetics of Semaglutide
injection and tablet and to assess the applicability of an LCMS/MS.. View more»
