How to Take: Orlistat should be taken orally with water during or up to one hour after each main meal that contains fat. The medication works by blocking the absorption of about 30% of the fat consumed in the meal.

Dietary Considerations: It's important to follow a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet while taking Orlistat to minimize gastrointestinal side effects such as oily stools and flatulence. Meals should ideally have no more than 30% of calories from fat.

Missed Dose: If you miss a meal or if your meal contains no fat, you should skip the dose of Orlistat. Do not take extra medication to make up for a missed dose.

Supplementation: Because Orlistat can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), it is recommended to take a multivitamin supplement containing these vitamins at least two hours before or after taking Orlistat to ensure adequate nutrition.

How to Take: RYBELSUS® should be taken orally once daily on an empty stomach. It is important to take it at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking, or taking any other oral medications. This timing helps ensure optimal absorption of the medication.

Instructions: The tablet should be swallowed whole with no more than 4 ounces of plain water. Do not split, crush, or chew the tablet, as this could affect how the medication is absorbed and how well it works.

Timing: After taking RYBELSUS®, wait at least 30 minutes before consuming any food, beverages (other than plain water), or other oral medications. This allows the medication to be absorbed properly in the stomach and increases its effectiveness.

Consistency: For the best results, RYBELSUS® should be taken at the same time every day. This helps maintain steady levels of the medication in your body.

Follow Prescribed Dosage: Always take the medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Do not take more or less than the recommended dose, as doing so could affect the effectiveness of the medication and increase the risk of side effects.
