Pharmacology of GLP-1 RAs Endogenous GLP-1 is secreted from intestinal L-cells following oral nutrient intake
Peak Side Effect Period: Weeks 13 Semaglutide side effects typically reach their peak intensity during the first 13 weeks of treatment
Current research suggests that semaglutide does not directly stimulate leptin production or secretion
Oral GLP-1 formulations are adding manufacturing complexity in a different dimension: on December 22, 2025, the FDA approved Novo Nordisk's oral Wegovy 25 mg as the first oral GLP-1 therapy for weight loss, bringing with it the manufacturing requirements of oral solid dosage pharmaceutical production at commercial scale, a fundamentally different infrastructure challenge from parenteral peptide API synthesis
We use molecular modeling to predict how ingredients interact, and digital twins to scale up with precision, says Albe
