What is Rybelsus?
Rybelsus (semaglutide tablets) is the first oral GLP-1 receptor agonist. Together with diet and exercise, it is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works in the same way as the injectable semaglutide in Ozempic, but is taken by mouth once a day.

Rybelsus FAQs
Why do I have to wait 30 minutes after taking Rybelsus?
Food, drinks and other medicines reduce how much semaglutide your body absorbs from the tablet. Waiting 30 minutes helps it work properly.
Is Rybelsus used for weight loss?
Rybelsus is approved for type 2 diabetes. Some people lose weight while taking it, but it is not approved as a weight-loss medicine.
Do I need a prescription to buy Rybelsus from Canada?
