I just recently saw an ad for a pill version of these drugs which I didn't think was possible. Obviously everyone would rather take a pill than get a "jab" every month/week or whatever the cadence is.
- vikaveri 2y agoPill version has been out for some time and personally I'd prefer the jab over pill because pill needs to be taken to empty stomach and you can't eat it drink for half an hour after it, every day. Jab on the other hand, takes a few minutes, doesn't even sting and you need to do it only once a week.
- idbehold 2y agoInteresting. I have a mild phobia of needles and was perhaps projecting a bit when I suggested everyone would rather take the pill :)
- Fire-Dragon-DoL 2y agoI faint with needles, so I'm with you on that
- cr125rider 2y agoThe pill isn’t great because you need to wait an _entire_ 30 minutes before consuming anything? Knowing your user is important, I guess.
- vikaveri 2y agoWell, if routines are easy for you I guess it's not a big deal. If your days are irregular and you often need to figure out when is a good time to take the pill, then it's an additional hassle you can avoid. Or you can just ignore the instructions and take it whenever but if we go down that road next you know we'll be swimming before thirty minutes has passed after a meal.
- cr125rider 2y agoThis is tangential but I liked your comment. Isn’t it a total fallacy you’re supposed to wait after a meal to swim?
