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.
Ozempic is a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes by improving blood sugar levels in adults. It is a once-weekly injection of semaglutide that stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. The dosage for Ozempic is gradually increased over four weeks. It may also be used for weight loss as it suppresses appetite. However, taking Ozempic may cause kidney problems, and doctors may monitor kidney health during treatment. It is not the same as metformin, another diabetes medication that works differently in the body. Ozempic has gained attention due to its effectiveness and popularity among celebrities and social media influencers.
