Rybelsus for weight loss

2026-08-14 04:07:42
Struggling with losing weight from years now even though other parameters are fairly normal. I am active and eat decent but metabolism is very low and food cravings is too high. Heard about Rybelsus being prescribed for weight loss since I don't want to take injection. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Rybelsus (oral semaglutide) does work and it is the tablet version, so no injection - but it is a prescription drug, needs slow dose escalation from 3 mg, and it is not meant for someone who just wants to lose a few kilos. In India it is appropriate when BMI is 30 or above, or 27 plus with a problem like prediabetes, PCOS, fatty liver or high BP. Also, "cravings and low metabolism" in a 27-year-old woman usually has a driver - untreated hypothyroidism, PCOS/insulin resistance, low iron or B12, poor sleep, or crash dieting that wrecked the metabolic rate - and that must be found first, because if you start and stop the drug the weight returns. Nausea, constipation and reflux are common side effects, and it is avoided in pregnancy planning, pancreatitis history or family thyroid cancer.
Next Steps
Get TSH, fasting insulin and sugar, HbA1c, lipids, haemoglobin/ferritin, vitamin D and B12, plus a pelvic scan if periods are irregular, and note your actual height-weight/BMI. Fix protein intake (about 1.2 g/kg), resistance training twice a week and 7 hours of sleep for 8-12 weeks. Bring the reports to a consult with me on Practo and I will tell you honestly whether Rybelsus is justified for you and how to start it safely - not something to order off the internet.

Please get blood sugar, thyroid function tests, serum cortisol levels, done and share results.  Rybelsus will reduce weight by suppressing appetite, but there is risk of relapse of weight gain when it is stopped.. Hence try to reduce weight naturally and consistently by life style measures.
