Weight loss isn't solely about willpower, nor is it just about diet and exercise. While healthy eating and regular physical activity are crucial, factors like genetics, hormones, stress, and sleep also play significant roles. Sustainable weight loss requires a personalized, holistic approach that addresses both physical and mental well-being. It’s not about sheer willpower—it's about finding what works for your body and lifestyle.

Common mistakes when trying to lose weight include relying on overly restrictive diets, focusing only on the scale, skipping meals, and expecting quick results. It's important not to neglect the importance of sleep, stress management, and balanced nutrition. Sustainable weight loss is about creating healthy, long-term habits rather than quick fixes.

Yes, Rybelsus® can be prescribed for weight loss when appropriate. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it’s the right option for you, as it’s typically recommended alongside lifestyle changes like a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Typically, treatment starts with a low dose to minimize side effects, gradually increasing to a maintenance dose. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider ensure the dosage remains effective and safe. The minimum dose is 3mg once a day, with a maximum dose of 14mg daily.

Take Rybelsus® exactly as your healthcare provider instructs. Do not take more than one tablet per day. Take it by mouth on an empty stomach in the morning with a sip of plain water (no more than 120mls). Avoid taking it with any liquids other than water. Swallow the tablet whole without splitting, crushing, or chewing it. After 30 minutes, you may eat, drink, or take other oral medications. If you miss a dose, skip it and return to your regular schedule.
