The wire

01Researchers in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism measured how accurately participants delivered the specified water volume during simulated administration of oral semaglutide.
02Absorption of oral semaglutide is sensitive to water volume and fasting conditions, so dosing technique is a practical counselling point for pharmacists and prescribers.
03The work is a simulated administration study rather than a measure of drug exposure or glycaemic outcomes, and sample details should be checked in the full paper.
