In a 10-week clinical trial, a daily dose of 20 mg oral semaglutide achieved a steady-state plasma concentration of 30 nM, and when daily dose of oral semaglutide was increased to 40 mg, the semaglutide plasma concentration reached about 60 nM (102), which was over a thousand times higher than the EC50 of semaglutide for GLP-1R activation (95)
