Semaglutide 3 mg – Rybelsus Tablet

Active ingredient: Semaglutide 3 mg
Dosage form: Oral tablet
Medicine class: GLP-1 receptor agonist
Prescription status: Prescription medicine

Rybelsus 3 mg contains semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used as part of the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The 3 mg strength is generally used as the initial dose to help the body adjust to oral semaglutide; it is not intended as the maintenance dose for glycaemic control. Treatment and dose escalation should be directed by a qualified healthcare professional.

What is Rybelsus 3 mg used for?

Semaglutide is used alongside diet and exercise to improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Suitability depends on the patient’s medical history, current medicines and local prescribing guidance. It is not a treatment for type 1 diabetes.

How does semaglutide work?

Semaglutide mimics the activity of GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone involved in glucose regulation. It helps increase insulin release when blood glucose is elevated, reduces glucagon secretion and slows gastric emptying. These effects can improve glycaemic control and may reduce appetite in some patients.

How is Rybelsus taken?

Follow the prescription and the patient information supplied with the medicine. Rybelsus is taken on an empty stomach after waking with a small amount of plain water. The tablet should be swallowed whole. Patients should wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking or taking other oral medicines. Do not split, crush or chew the tablet.

Important: Do not change strength or dose without medical advice. Different oral semaglutide formulations may not be interchangeable milligram-for-milligram.

Important safety information

Semaglutide may not be suitable for everyone. Patients should tell their prescriber about all medical conditions and medicines before treatment. Particular care may be required with a history of pancreatitis, diabetic retinopathy, kidney problems, severe gastrointestinal symptoms, or when semaglutide is used with insulin or medicines that can cause hypoglycaemia.

Rybelsus is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction to semaglutide or its ingredients. Seek urgent medical care for symptoms of a severe allergic reaction or severe, persistent abdominal pain.

Possible side effects

Commonly reported effects with GLP-1 receptor agonist treatment include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, vomiting or constipation. Side effects and their frequency can vary. Persistent or severe symptoms should be discussed promptly with a healthcare professional.
