Having type 2 diabetes means that managing your blood sugar levels within a normal range is very important.
You and your healthcare professional have decided that RYBELSUS® is the appropriate medication to help you do this.
RYBELSUS® is a medicine containing the active substance semaglutide, which is used to lower blood glucose (sugar) levels in adults (18 years and older) with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise is not enough. It can be used on its own when metformin (another medicine for diabetes) cannot be used, or in combination with other diabetes medicines, when the other medicines are not enough to control your blood sugar levels.
It is important that you continue with your diet and exercise plan as agreed with your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. This includes any possible side effects not listed in the package leaflet. You can also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme at https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk or search for MHRA Yellow Card in the Google Play or Apple App Store. Side effects should also be reported to Novo Nordisk Limited (Telephone Novo Nordisk Customer Care Centre 0800 023 2573).
Calls may be monitored for training purposes. By reporting side effects, you can help provide more information on the safety of this medicine.
