FAQs
Rybelsus® is the brand name of an FDA-approved oral medication that contains semaglutide and belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It helps:
- Optimize your metabolism
- Regulate your blood sugar levels
- Control your appetite
It is the first oral form of semaglutide and was originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is made by Novo Nordisk, which is the same manufacturer as Ozempic and is fast becoming a popular option for individuals who desire the help of medical intervention but do not wish to take injections.
Rybelsus may be a good option for individuals who:
- Have a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions;
- Have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone;
- Are looking for a non-surgical weight loss solution and do not wish to use injectable weight loss medications;
- Do not have a history of certain medical conditions, such as thyroid cancer or pancreatitis, are not pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, or have any other serious health conditions.
Yes, Rybelsus is FDA-approved and considered safe for long-term use when taken as prescribed. However, regular check-ins with your doctor are important to monitor your progress and ensure the medication is working as expected.
The timing for weight loss results can be different for everyone, but many people notice changes after the first month of around four pounds. But consistency with taking your medication, changes to your diet, and lifestyle choices each contribute to your success with weight loss.
The amount of weight you can lose when taking Rybelsus is directly related to how well the medication works for you and how well you consistently adhere to the lifestyle changes that are needed to promote weight loss. In a 68-week study, the average weight loss for most individuals was around 17.5% of their starting weight. This would mean a person who was 300 pounds when they started taking Rybelsus would lose around 52.5 pounds in a little over a year.
Yes, while Rybelsus was initially developed for diabetes, it is commonly prescribed off-label for weight loss in individuals without diabetes.
Both medications contain the same prescription medication, semaglutide, but Rybelsus is taken in pill form, while Ozempic is administered via daily injection. Dr. Simmons can help you determine which option is best for you and your needs.
