    Rybelsus , 7 mg , new medication

    Yes Rybelsus has been a very handy addition to the range of options, especially with Ozempic being plagued by shortages for some time now. From what I recall we have a few members who have had success with both injectable and tablet forms of semaglutide, along with some others that it didn’t...

    Latest HbA1c and surgery review

    Ohh, your GP sounds like mine As you can see my HbA1c numbers are good and when I tentatively ask about reducing Met the reply I get is if it ain't broke don't fix it. Last year I spoke with the Prescribing Pharmacist who did reduce Met by 1, I now take three She was slightly huffy that...

    Latest HbA1c and surgery review

    ...out? Should I have pushed more to reduce or come off medication, or should I be content that everything is going well and that the metformin and rybelsus have other benefits beyond diabetes control. She’s changed me to annual testing now, so I suppose I’ve missed the opportunity for a year...

    Help with metformin

    You are definitely getting there with your HbA1C, I assume it must have been significantly higher to be put on so many medications. Were you just starting with that HbA1C then diet alone may well have been sufficient to bring it down and the achieve weight loss. Usually when metformin is started...

    Help with metformin

    Hi thanks so much. My Hbac1 was 54 on my last test. I'm to be tested again at end of July. Depending on result my nurse is going to up my rybelsus from 7mg to 14mg. I need to start weight loss also. I have been on the slow release for about just over 2 years. My first symptoms started on...

    Help with metformin

    Welcome to the forum Many do suffer problems initially but it usually settles down within a few weeks and we normally advise people to go back to their GP and ask for an alternative if it doesn't. Certainly it is not something you should put up with for months on end, some people just cannot...

    Help with metformin

    ...I'm due to have a double endoscopy and colonoscopy just to rule out crohns but he's pretty sure it's medication. I've now changed to 7mg rybelsus, 40mg of glipizide, and 5 mg of alogliptin a day. Has anyone else suffered this? I'm really struggling. I'm having to have time off work and cannot...

    Absolutely horrified and terrified

    @Halfhybrid sorry to hear you are struggling, I'm in similar position, but managed to lobby my reluctant GP for Rybelsus tablet version of semaglutide drugs starting with lowest dose, and obviously all diabetes drugs have side effects, but I'm struggling to adjust to dehydration, nausea...

    ..."deliver" it, and Boots Pharmacists sent my fufilled prescription via Tracked 24 service, so after many months I have taken my first dose of Rybelsus semaglutide drugs, and have 30 day supply where it's reviewed with blood test and hopefully I can progress to the higher dose as it will lower...

    Rybelsus side effects

    Congratulations on the weight loss @deevaweeva009 Rybelsus is a fairly new medication, so forum members only have limited experience of it. Added to which, recent supply issues and shortages have meant that many of the recent comments and threads about it have been more connected with actually...

    Has anyone been prescribed Mounjaro? - new drug for weight loss approved by MHRA for people with type 2 diabetes.

    Thank you for replying. Unfortunately I have to change my original post as I met the woman today. I’m shocked tbh. It was kidney cancer and her left kidney was removed two weeks ago. She showed me the scar. I had heard from my friend who got it mixed up and said it was her lung. She looks...

    Has anyone been prescribed Mounjaro? - new drug for weight loss approved by MHRA for people with type 2 diabetes.

    @Jinty2001 good luck for your weight loss journey! I have just been prescribed Rybelsus semaglutide tablets via NHS prescription after lobbying for it from my GP, like supermarkets avoiding any new legislative scrutiny preventing them profiting hugely from addictive highly processed junk foods...

    Rybelsus side effects

    Hi, I was diagnosed type 2 about 2 1/2 years ago. Put on metformin which I tollarated for 1 1/2 years. Was then on insulin. Since 29th April this year, doctor put me on rybelus 3mg. I was fine until yesterday when I had terrible tummy pains and the runs, and little vomitting. How long will...

    Rybelsus availability

    ...tablets, so what you posted is 100% correct, but my GP being over-cautious about medicine shortages has written vague prescription, so Rybelsus semaglutide tablets are available on NHS prescription and in stock from Boots Pharmacists, and I'm hoping my full prescription will be processed...

    Rybelsus availability

    Novo Nordisk's patents have years left to run so there won't be a legal generic oral semaglutide available anytime soon. And Rybelsus is a Novo Nordisk trademark, so any generic oral semaglutide wouldn't be referred to professionally as "generic Rybelsus" or "unbranded Rybelsus". See eg...

    Rybelsus availability

    Can I be cheeky and ask if there are any published sources to confirm that Rybelsus semaglutide tablets are branded and no such generic version exists? I know Rybelsus.com has big photos and thyroid cancer warning (please don't sue us consumers!) but I couldn't find much else, this also makes me...

    Rybelsus availability

    Yes, this is like "diabetes comedy night" so you'll never believe who prescribed the non-existent generic Rybelsus tablets reading as "semaglutide generic tablets 3mg" on NHS prescription? Yes, it was the "Diabetes Specialist" GP at the Surgery, who uses stock phrases like "global shortages, no...
