It is an oral medication that helps promote weight loss by suppressing appetite and boosting metabolism. Rybelsus is a GLP-1 analogue, which means it works by mimicking the effects of the hormone GLP-1. GLP-1 is responsible for regulating appetite and metabolism, and when levels of GLP-1 are increased, people taking Rybelsus lost an average of 7-10% of their body weight, and many were able to keep the weight off for more than a year.

Rybelsus is approved for use in adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or adults with a BMI of 27 or above who have other weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol. Rybelsus is not for use in children.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal pain. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own after a few days or weeks of treatment. More serious side effects of Rybelsus may include pancreatitis, kidney problems, and allergic reactions. It is important to talk to your doctor about any side effects you experience while taking Rybelsus, as they may need to adjust your dosage or switch you to a different medication.
