Product introduction

Rybelsus 3mg Tablet is a medicine used to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps prevent serious complications of diabetes like kidney damage and blindness. Proper control of diabetes also helps lower your chances of a heart attack or a stroke.

Rybelsus 3mg Tablet belongs to the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide) group of diabetes medicines. It works by helping the body produce insulin and reducing appetite. It also helps reduce weight in some people. This medicine should be stored in a refrigerator until you need it but do not freeze it.

It is taken 30 minutes before the first meal of the day. The dose will depend on your condition and what other diabetes medicines you are taking. Do not stop taking this medicine without talking to your doctor. If you do, your blood sugar levels may increase and put you at risk of serious complications. Remember that it is only part of a treatment program that should also include a healthy diet and regular exercise. Your lifestyle plays a big part in controlling diabetes.

The most common side effects of this medicine include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, fatigue, and constipation. It can also lead to low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), especially if you are also taking other medicines, like insulin or sulfonylureas, for the treatment of diabetes. To prevent this, it is important to have regular meals, and always carry a fast-acting source of glucose, such as sugary candy or glucose candy, with you.

Before using Rybelsus 3mg Tablet, let your doctor know if you have any pancreas or stomach problems, severe dehydration (loss of body water), or diabetic ketoacidosis (a complication of diabetes characterized by too much acid and ketones in your blood). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before using this medicine. If you experience blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness due to extremely low or high blood sugar, do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness or clear vision until you are sure you can do them safely.
