I have successfully had two prescriptions of Rybelsus. It took a little while for it to take affect I was due my next prescription this week but the manufacturer has none available anywhere in the country. My surgery are trying to sort something out for me and many other’s. I have one tablet left for tomorrow (23rd June) and now wait to see if an alternative is available.
Anyone else in the same predicame

Me too. I have 5 days left and no prospect if any more. Rybelsus has been brilliant for me. My BG is down from a regular 10, 12,13 to 5.5 - 6.5 ! I have energy, concentration and awake! I'm really fearful of what will happen when in 5 days .... I don't want to lose the wellbeing I now have.

What is the alternative drug you have now?

Is rybelsus the tablet if so do you have any side effects. I was on Ozempic and had side effects so I took myself of it.

Yes Rybelsus is a once a day tablet. There are side effects.
The advice I was given by my Diabetes nurse was all semaglutide meds REQUIRE a life style change for it to work without difficult side effects.
When I follow the "lifestyle changes" I have no issues.
Eat smaller quantities at each meal and have snacks between main meals.
Eat slowly....very slowly.
Listen to your body...has last mouthful gone down before next swallow? Are you feeling full? Empty? Midway?
Stop when full
Eat 30mins after taking pill or it won't work do well, best is bread - something dry rather than sloppy food.
Don't lie down after taking pill as it sticks.
This is working well for me.
