Slightly tangential to Swimming as primary but SleepDoc_PDX reminded me — what is the latest on the oral formulations?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.

+1 to SleepDoc_PDX. Especially the point about "A few questions about your Swimming as p..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Swimming as primary.

EndoResFellow — that is really helpful context on Swimming as primary. Follow-up question: how long did you wait before increasing your dose?

I am in a similar situation (week 4) and trying to set realistic expectations.

To answer hannah_MT's question specifically:

From a clinical standpoint, Swimming as primary cardio on is a reasonable concern that deserves a thorough answer.

The short answer: the evidence supports this approach for most patients.

The longer answer involves reviewing the specific clinical trial data relevant to your question, which I am happy to elaborate on if helpful.
