Its oral bioavailability is achieved by incorporating the absorption enhancer SNAC (Sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]caprylate), which works through two mechanisms: (1) temporarily raising the local pH in the stomach to reduce pepsin-induced degradation of the peptide drug, and (2) forming hydrophobic ion pairs (HIP) with the peptide drug, improving its membrane permeability
