What is Rybelsus?
Rybelsus (semaglutide) is a tablet medicine used for improving blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the class of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 receptor agonists).
It works by mimicking the functions of incretin hormones that are found in the body naturally. Incretins are a group of metabolic hormones that stimulate a decrease in blood glucose levels [1]. They are released after eating and stimulate insulin secretion together with hyperglycemia (high blood sugar).
What is Rybelsus used for?
It works by increasing the level of insulin released and decreasing glucagon secretion. It also slows down gastric emptying after eating. Rybelsus has the same active ingredient as Wegovy and Ozempic. Therefore, Rybelsus tablets could be used for weight loss.
Is Rybelsus used for treating type 1 diabetes?
Rybelsus is not for treating type 1 diabetes. In animal studies, it’s been reported that Semaglutide causes thyroid tumors or cancer. It is not known whether these effects would occur in people.
But there’s still a chance that semaglutide can increase the risk. In a 2022 report, the correlation between semaglutide and thyroid cancer for those who did or didn’t take was recorded. In that report, it was found higher rates of thyroid cancer in people who used semaglutide for 1-3 years [2].
If patients have a personal or family history of thyroid cancer, using semaglutide is not recommended for them.
Is Rybelsus taken for weight loss?
Rybelsus tablet iwas not intended for weight loss initially but but many people found benefits using it. People lost 5 pounds (2.3kg) while taking Rybelsus 7mg and 8.1 pounds (3.7kg) on average while taking Rybelsus 14mg.
One study reported that patients weighing an average of 196 pounds and taking the lowest dosage of Rybelsus can lose about 5 pounds over six months. This medication is part of the GLP-1 meds and has the same weight loss property as them.

Rybelsus is an oral weight loss tablet used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults, while Ozempic is found in injection form and used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults.
Can you take Rybelsus if you are not diabetic?
Rybelsus is not approved for non-diabetic use. However, it’s been studied for its potential to aid weight loss in non-diabetic patients. But the safety and efficacy of Rybelsus hasn’t been established yet. But is has been shown to be an effective weight loss pill.
