Rybelsus 7mg Tablet contains Semaglutide, a medication used primarily to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is a member of the group of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists.
Brand Name: Rybelsus
Composition: Semaglutide
Mechanism of Action:
The GLP-1 hormone, which is essential for controlling blood glucose levels, is mimicked by semaglutide. When blood sugar levels are high, it increases insulin secretion by inducing the pancreas to release more insulin. Semaglutide also inhibits the liver's production of glucagon, a hormone that causes blood sugar levels to rise. Additionally, it slows down the rate at which food exits the stomach by delaying gastric emptying, which helps curb appetite and manage post-meal glucose increases.
Uses:
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Dosage and Administration:
To lessen gastrointestinal side effects, Rybelsus is often begun at 3 mg once day for the first month before being increased to 7 mg daily. Taken orally once a day with a little water on an empty stomach
