STEP 2: Starting Dose (Initiation Phase)
Dose:
➡️ 3 mg once daily for 30 days
Purpose:
• Allows your body to adjust
• Reduces nausea and GI side effects
• Not intended for full glucose or weight control
This phase is about tolerance, not results.
STEP 3: How to Take Rybelsus (Daily Routine)
Take it once every morning:
-
Wake up
-
Take tablet with no more than 120 mL (4 oz) of plain water
-
Do NOT eat, drink, or take other meds for 30 minutes
-
After 30 minutes → eat, drink, and take other meds normally
Important rules:
❌ No food before
❌ No coffee or juice
❌ No vitamins or other pills
✔ Only plain water
✔ Same time every day
This is critical because Rybelsus has low absorption and needs an empty stomach.
STEP 4: Dose Increase (Titration Phase)
After 30 days at 3 mg:
➡️ Increase to 7 mg once daily
If more effect is needed:
➡️ Increase to 14 mg once daily (maximum dose)
Your doctor decides based on:
• Blood sugar
• Weight response
• Side effects
Dose increases are gradual to prevent nausea.
STEP 5: What Happens in the Body
Rybelsus works by:
• Reducing appetite
• Slowing stomach emptying
• Improving insulin response
• Reducing glucose release from liver
• Helping portion control
You may notice:
• Less hunger
• Feeling full faster
• Less cravings
• Gradual weight loss
• Improved glucose numbers
STEP 6: Common Side Effects
Most common:
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Constipation
• Bloating
• Acid reflux
• Fatigue
Usually worst in:
• First 2–4 weeks
• After dose increases
They usually improve with time.

STEP 7: Missed Dose
If you miss a dose:
❌ Do NOT double dose
➡️ Skip it
➡️ Take next dose the following morning
If you miss several days:
➡️ Call your provider (may need to restart lower dose)
STEP 8: Long-Term Use
Rybelsus is usually:
• Taken daily
• Long-term

Stopping it usually causes:

For most people, it works only while you are taking it.

Call a doctor if you have:
🚨 Severe abdominal pain
