While subcutaneous injection is the most common method of administration for peptides, some peptides may be more effective when injected directly into a muscle [3]
How injectable/oral GLP-1 medications work: Mimic the GLP-1 hormone with engineered modifications for extended duration Bind to GLP-1 receptors to enhance insulin release and reduce glucagon Slow gastric emptying by 20-50%, promoting satiety Supported by large randomized controlled trialsthe STEP trials showed 14.9% mean weight loss at 68 weeks versus 2.4% for placebo The short answer on why patches cant deliver these drugs: GLP-1 molecules are relatively large peptide chains (molecular weight 3-5 kDa) that cannot effectively penetrate the skin barrier through passive transdermal diffusion
