Rybelsus' medication should always be taken under medical supervision. It is generally meant to cause type 2 diabetes, but people take it for weight loss also. It works by helping you feel full for longer and reducing your appetite.
Here are the side effects of the medications:

Constipation or diarrhea
But instead of taking medication directly, you can focus on diet and exercise to lose weight.
