What is Rybelsus? Rybelsus is a medicine that comes in tablet form developed by the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk Inc. to treat type 2 diabetes. It contains the active ingredient semaglutide, a synthetic version of the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). This hormone regulates blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production and reducing glucose production by the liver. Is Rybelsus a weight loss pill? Rybelsus is not licensed for use as a weight loss medicine, but its active ingredient semaglutide has been shown to help control appetite by reducing cravings and keeping people feeling fuller for longer. Medicines containing semaglutide, in combination with healthy eating habits and regular exercise, can help weight loss. Are Rybelsus and Ozempic the same? Both Rybelsus and Ozempic are manufactured by Novo Nordisk Inc. They both contain the active ingredient semaglutide and are mainly used to treat type 2 diabetes. Rybelsus comes in tablet form; Ozempic is a self-injection medicine. I’m not diabetic: can I still take Rybelsus? Rybelsus is only licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but is sometimes prescribed off-label as a weight loss medicine. What does ‘off-label’ mean? Where can I buy Rybelsus? Rybelsus is a prescription-only medicine available through GPs, hospital specialists, or licensed online pharmacies. We don’t currently prescribe Rybelsus, but we can offer other weight loss treatments where suitable. These include Mounjaro, a weekly self-injectable pen. It contains tirzepatide which works by regulating blood sugar and energy balance levels, helping to reduce appetite and prevent cravings. Find out more about Mounjaro and how it works for weight loss. Rybelsus vs Wegovy Rybelsus and Wegovy are both made by the same manufacturer, Novo Nordisk Inc., and contain the same active ingredient, semaglutide. However, Wegovy has been specifically designed and licensed for use as a weight loss medicine. It’s administered via a weekly self-injection. Find out more about Wegovy. Alternative weight loss treatments We offer a variety of weight loss treatments, including Mounjaro, Orlistat, and Xenical. Mounjaro, like Rybelsus, helps reduce appetite and keeps users feeling full for longer. It comes in the form of a self-injection pen. Orlistat
