Description
Rybelsus is an FDA-approved daily oral medication for type 2 diabetes that can lead to weight loss as a side effect. While not approved specifically for weight loss, users often experience weight reduction—around 5–8 pounds over 6 months—due to improved blood sugar control, increased satiety, and reduced appetite.
Key Details on Using Rybelsus for Weight Loss:
-
- Mechanism: As a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it helps control appetite and makes you feel fuller after eating.
- Weight Loss Results: Studies indicate that users taking the 14 mg dose of Rybelsus for 6 months lost more weight compared to those taking other diabetes medications
.
- Not Approved for Weight Loss: Rybelsus is not an FDA-approved medication for weight loss, although it is sometimes prescribed off-label for this purpose.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain.
- Administration: It must be taken on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, with no more than 4 ounces of water, and you must wait 30 minutes before eating or drinking.
