Rybelsus is a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It comes in tablet form and is taken orally. The medication is available in two dosages: 7 mg and 14 mg. Rybelsus is intended to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise to help control blood sugar levels. It works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a naturally occurring incretin hormone that is usually released following a meal. Rybelsus stimulates the secretion of insulin following food, reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver, and helps to make you feel full after food. The medication is not currently approved for weight loss, although it can be a possible side effect. Rybelsus is different from Metformin, which is an older drug and usually prescribed as the first medication for type 2 diabetes. The cost of Rybelsus without insurance varies by retailer and averages around $350 per month.
Oral suspension is a liquid preparation containing solid particles of one or more medicines that are dispersed throughout a liquid phase, intended for oral administration. It is important for certain oral suspensions to have a well-defined particle size specification for the drug substance. Examples of such suspensions include phenytoin, carbamazepine, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, and hydrocortisone. Oral suspension is different from pharmaceutical syrup or solution, as the drug particles only get suspended in the liquid medium rather than completely dissolving. Children's Tylenol is one example of an oral suspension that reduces fevers and relieves pain in children aged 2 to 11.
