How it works
Rybelsus 14mg Tablet works by helping the pancreas release a fair amount of insulin when blood glucose levels are high. Insulin directs the muscle and fat cells to take in glucose where it is utilized for energy. Semaglutide also works by suppressing the release of glucagon (a hormone that raises blood glucose).
