Rybelsus® tablets

What is Rybelsus?

Rybelsus tablets (semaglutide) is a prescription medicine used in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to decrease blood sugar levels. Rybelsus can be prescribed when other diabetes medicines have been tried without success, and should be used together with diet and exercise.

Rybelsus tablets work to lower blood sugar (glucose) levels by increasing how much insulin is released and decreasing glucagon secretion. This medicine also may slow gastric emptying after eating. Rybelsus is from the class of medicines called GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Rybelsus is not for treating type 1 diabetes.
Rybelsus was first approved by the FDA on September 20, 2019.
