Wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking any other oral medication
Daily wake-up routine
Important dosing and storing instructions:
- Take on an empty stomach as any kind of food, beverages, or oral medication may prevent RYBELSUS® from entering your bloodstream and taking effect.
- Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet when taking, as RYBELSUS® should be swallowed whole.
- Many people taking pills use a pillbox to store their medicine, but with RYBELSUS® it is very important to always keep your pill in its original package until you are ready to take it. Keeping RYBELSUS® in its protective packaging ensures that it will work properly, as it is sensitive to moisture and light.
Download the patient leaflet for more information about taking or using RYBELSUS®.
For questions about managing your diabetes and taking your daily RYBELSUS®, talk to your health care professional.
