Questions
The usual starting dose of metformin extended-release tablet is 500 mg once daily with an evening meal. Chat with Oana doctors to figure out the dosage that's appropriate for your needs.
While Metformin ER is primarily prescribed to manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes and to address symptoms of PCOS, some patients may experience weight loss as a side effect. It's believed that Metformin can influence appetite and energy expenditure.
A single dose of metformin ER has the capability to regulate your blood sugar levels for approximately 12 hours. However, should you cease taking the medication, it typically requires around 4 days for the majority of it to be expelled from your body. This duration is largely calculated from the half-life of metformin ER and may vary based on individual health factors and genetic makeup, meaning the exact time frame could differ from person to person.
Metformin ER (extended-release) and metformin IR (immediate-release) are utilized in the treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to manage insulin resistance, a common condition associated with PCOS. Metformin ER is designed to release the medication gradually in your body, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with the immediate-release form of Metformin. This slower release also means it can be taken less frequently which can improve adherence to the medication regimen.
It is commonly believed that Metformin can cause a reduction in Vitamin B12 levels, possibly by interfering with its absorption or through another mechanism. For this reason, we advise patients on Metformin to either monitor their B12 levels or take extra B12 as a precaution. However, some studies suggest there is no significant connection between Metformin use and B12 levels.
Regardless of Metformin use, it's important to maintain proper levels of Vitamin B12. For adults under 65, the easiest way to get B12 is to take at least one 2,000 mcg supplement each week or a daily dose of 50 mcg. Note that these doses are specific to cyanocobalamin, the preferred supplemental form of Vitamin B12.
As we age, our ability to absorb Vitamin B12 may decline. For those over 65, especially those on plant-based diets, supplementation should probably be increased to 1,000 mcg of cyanocobalamin daily.
B12 supplements are very cheap. Here is one option we found: 5c per 2500mcg tablet, so 5-15cents of cost per week depending on your age.
Yes, oral semaglutide is a prescription medication. Oana provides prescription services and delivers the medication if approved by one of our healthcare providers who deems it suitable for the patient's condition and needs.
Common side effects of oral semaglutide may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Headache
- Abdominal pain
These side effects are usually mild to moderate in severity and tend to improve over time as the body adjusts to the medication. However, it's important to discuss any persistent or bothersome side effects with a healthcare provider.
Weight loss results with oral semaglutide can vary, but on average, patients lose about 5% to 10% of their starting weight over 12 weeks. For someone weighing 200 pounds, this equates to losing approximately 10-20 pounds. Combining the medication with a healthy diet and increased physical activity can enhance these results.
Oana Health is dedicated to making semaglutide affordable for everyone. We offer clear and consistent pricing so you can access this advanced treatment without worrying about unexpected costs.
Oana's partner state-licensed compounding pharmacy adheres to strict quality standards and regulatory requirements enforced by both the FDA and state pharmacy boards. This ensures that the medication meets the highest standards of safety and efficacy.
Oral GLP-1 is typically taken by placing a measured dose under the tongue (sublingually) each day. This allows the medication to absorb directly into the bloodstream. The dosage may be adjusted gradually based on individual response and tolerability, with a maximum recommended dose of 1mg per day.
Oral GLP-1 medications, like semaglutide, benefit individuals with type 2 diabetes by improving glycemic control and promoting weight loss. They are also helpful for those struggling with obesity or prediabetes, offering a non-surgical option for weight management. Overall, oral GLP-1 medications offer a convenient and effective solution for improving metabolic health and controlling appetite.
Oral semaglutide works by mimicking the action of a naturally occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). When you take oral semaglutide, it stimulates GLP-1 receptors in your body, primarily located in the pancreas and brain. This stimulation leads to several beneficial effects:
1. **Increased Insulin Secretion**: Oral semaglutide triggers the pancreas to release more insulin in response to elevated blood sugar levels. This helps lower blood sugar levels after meals.
2. **Slowed Gastric Emptying**: Oral semaglutide slows down the emptying of the stomach, which can help regulate appetite and reduce the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream after eating.
3. **Reduced Glucagon Secretion**: Glucagon is a hormone that increases blood sugar levels by promoting the release of glucose from the liver. Oral semaglutide inhibits the secretion of glucagon, helping to keep blood sugar levels stable.
4. **Increased Satiety**: Oral semaglutide can increase feelings of fullness and satiety, which may lead to reduced food intake and weight loss over time.
Overall, oral semaglutide helps improve blood sugar control and promote weight loss by targeting multiple mechanisms involved in glucose metabolism and appetite regulation.
Oral semaglutide is a medication taken sublingually (under the tongue) that helps manage blood sugar levels and promote weight loss by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone.
