A clinician discusses clinical experience and medical literature on semaglutide, contrasting weekly injectable semaglutide (effective for weight loss) with the oral formulation (described as ineffective for weight loss). The speaker describes using a selective pulsing dosing approach and expresses skepticism about continuous, high-dose, long-term use due to cost and limited rationale.

So let's talk about the general experience in the medical literature and our clinical experience using a selective pulsing of the semaglutide dosing. Once again, the semaglutide is an injection. We're not talking about the oral form that really doesn't work well for weight loss. Injectable form, which is done once a week. And typically the idea is you take it forever. Now, I kind of don't like that idea. Maybe take something at a low dose forever might be reasonable, but taking a very expensive medicine at the highest dose that you're tolerant to really makes very little logic to me.
