Information about Rybelsus (Semaglutide)

Rybelsus (semaglutide) is an oral treatment prescribed to help control blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists (glucagon-like peptide-1). Semaglutide imitates the effects of GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels. Rybelsus is designed to be taken once daily and works by increasing insulin secretion, decreasing glucagon release, slowing gastric emptying, and promoting satiety (feeling of fullness), all of which help control blood sugar levels.

Product Highlights

  • Rybelsus is indicated for improving blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include diet and exercise.
  • In some cases, Rybelsus may aid in weight loss for people with type 2 diabetes, though it is not primarily indicated as a weight loss drug.

Key Ingredient

  • Semaglutide

Key Benefits

  • Rybelsus helps to lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion in response to meals and reducing glucagon (which helps prevent excess glucose production by the liver).
  • Many people taking Rybelsus experience weight loss as a secondary benefit, as the medication helps to control appetite and slows gastric emptying.
  • As an oral medication, Rybelsus offers a convenient option for patients who may prefer oral drugs over injectable treatments for type 2 diabetes.
  • Semaglutide has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events (e.g., heart attack, stroke) in people with type 2 diabetes, making it beneficial for those at risk of heart disease.
  • Rybelsus is taken once daily, making it easy to incorporate into a daily routine.

Direction of Use

  • The recommended starting dose of Rybelsus is 3 mg once daily for 30 days, then increased to 7 mg daily. If additional blood sugar control is needed, the dose may be increased to a maximum of 14 mg daily.
  • Rybelsus should be taken once daily in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before the first food, drink, or other medications of the day. The tablet should be taken whole with water and must not be chewed or crushed. 
  • It's important to take Rybelsus consistently at the same time each day to achieve the best results.

Safety Concerns

  • Frequent side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These tend to be most prominent when starting the medication or increasing the dose.
  • There is a potential risk of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), though rare. If symptoms like severe abdominal pain or vomiting occur, it is important to contact a healthcare provider immediately.
  • Rybelsus may cause kidney problems, particularly in patients with pre-existing kidney conditions. Kidney function should be monitored during treatment.
  • Rybelsus on its own does not typically cause hypoglycemia, but it may increase the risk when used in combination with other diabetes medications that can lower blood sugar (e.g., sulfonylureas or insulin).
  • GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide have been shown to cause thyroid tumors in rodents, though the relevance to humans is still being studied. It should not be used by individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 syndrome. 

Avoid Rybelsus (Semaglutide) If

  • Avoid Rybelsus if you are allergic to semaglutide or any other ingredients in the medication.
  • Rybelsus should not be used in patients with a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2).
  • If you have a history of pancreatitis, you should avoid Rybelsus unless specifically advised by your healthcare provider.
  • People with severe renal impairment should use Rybelsus with caution, as it may worsen kidney function.
  • Rybelsus is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as it is not known whether it is safe in these situations. A healthcare provider should be consulted if pregnancy or breastfeeding is planned.
