To answer Dr.ObesityLA's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, Oral GLP-1 for elderly is something I discuss with patients regularly.

The short answer: discuss this specific situation with your prescribing provider.

The longer answer involves weighing the risk-benefit ratio for your individual situation, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Oral GLP-1 for elderly.

To answer GraceAZ_72: yes, I am on compounded sema from a 503B pharmacy.

Quick update: things are still going well. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏
