About this medicine
Rybelsus 14 mg Tablet contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It works by enhancing insulin secretion, reducing excess glucagon, and slowing gastric emptying, which promotes a feeling of fullness and lowers calorie intake.
It is prescribed as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adults with obesity, or those who are overweight with weight-related conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidaemia. In addition, it is indicated to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death, in adults with established heart disease and excess weight.
