Rybelsus

What is it?

Composition

The composition of Rybelsus is based on the active ingredient semaglutide. This substance belongs to the class of GLP-1 analogues that help improve blood sugar control.

• Semaglutide
• Mannitol
• Microcrystalline cellulose
• Magnesium stearate
• Anhydrous citric acid

Additional components of the formula ensure the stability and effectiveness of the drug, so they are carefully selected and adjusted. This composition makes Rybelsus a popular remedy for those looking for reliable methods of combating diabetes.

How to use?

Correct use of Rybelsus is very important to achieve the best therapeutic results. It is usually taken once a day with water, at least half an hour before breakfast, so that the medicine has time to work before eating.

1. Every morning, on an empty stomach, swallow the tablet whole with half a glass of water. Do not chew, break or divide the tablet.
2. After 30 minutes, you can have a large breakfast, avoid taking the tablet with other liquids or food. This ensures the best absorption of semaglutide.
3. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible in the morning or skip the dose for the day, if it is already lunch, do not double the dose.

Following these recommendations is important to maintain the stable effectiveness of the medicine.

How does it work?

Rybelsus works by stimulating GLP-1 receptors, which are found on the surface of the pancreas. This leads to increased insulin production when needed, such as after a meal. The active ingredient semaglutide also reduces the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. Thus, Rybelsus helps control blood glucose levels and prevents sharp spikes in its level.

It is also worth noting that the effect of Rybelsus on appetite is one of the additional benefits of this drug. This is especially important for patients with type 2 diabetes, who often need to control their body weight. Patients may notice a decrease in hunger, which helps in the fight against excess weight.
