Description
Rybelsus 7mg Tablet is used to lower blood sugar levels in adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains semaglutide as its active ingredient. The Rybelsus 7mg Tablet should be stored at room temperature. It should be taken 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. The dose will vary depending on your condition and other diabetes medications you may be taking. It is important not to stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. If you do stop, your blood sugar levels may increase, putting you at risk of serious complications.
Common side effects of Rybelsus include nausea, diarrhoea, vomiting, decreased appetite, fatigue, and constipation. It can also lead to low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), especially if you are taking other medications like insulin or sulfonylureas for the treatment of diabetes. To prevent this, it is important to maintain regular meals and always carry a fast-acting source of glucose, such as sugary or glucose-based candy.
Before using Rybelsus 7mg Tablet, let your doctor know if you have any pancreas or stomach problems, severe dehydration (loss of body water), or diabetic ketoacidosis (a complication of diabetes characterized by too much acid and ketones in your blood). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before using this medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Is Rybelsus tablet a weight loss pill?
A: No, Rybelsus tablet is a medicine for adults with type 2 diabetes that is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar
Q: Is Rybelsus 7mg Tablet equivalent to Ozempic?
A: Both contain semaglutide and function similarly in the body. The main difference lies in the route of administration: Rybelsus is a daily tablet, whereas Ozempic is a once-weekly injection. Some patients prefer the pill to avoid needles, but Rybelsus has much stricter requirements for how and when it must be swallowed to be effective.
Q: Why must I wait exactly 30 minutes before eating?
A: Rybelsus 7mg Tablet is very difficult for the stomach to absorb. In fact, less than 1% of the drug actually enters your system. Eating, drinking coffee, or taking other pills too soon "blocks" the medication from being absorbed. Waiting at least 30 minutes ensures the medicine has a clear path to your bloodstream.
Q: Will the nausea ever go away?
A: Yes, for most people. Nausea is the most common side effect, especially during the first month or when your doctor increases your dose. This occurs because the medication slows the rate at which your stomach empties. Most patients report that nausea resolves after a few weeks as the body adjusts.
Q: Can I split the tablet in half to make it easier to swallow?
A: You must swallow the Rybelsus 7mg Tablet whole. It has a special coating and a buffer ingredient, SNAC, that protects the medicine from gastric acid. If you break, crush, or chew the tablet, the stomach acid will destroy the medicine before it can be absorbed.
Q: Who should avoid taking Rybelsus 7mg Tablet?
A: Rybelsus 7mg Tablet should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. It should also be used with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis, and only under medical supervision.
