Switching:If You Take (R1)Switch To (R2)7 mg once daily4 mg once daily14 mg once daily9 mg once dailyKeep in mind that the two formulations are not equivalent on a milligram-to-milligram basis, they cannot be directly substituted. You should use only one formulation at a time, either Rybelsus R1 or R2, but never both simultaneously.Switching from Ozempic to RybelsusBased on the prescribing information, the only available guideline for switching from Ozempic to Rybelsus applies to patients taking Ozempic 0.5 mg subcutaneously once weekly. There are no official recommendations for switching from Ozempic 0.25 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg to Rybelsus.If you’re switching from Ozempic 0.5 mg (subcutaneous) to Rybelsus, wait one week after stopping Ozempic before starting Rybelsus.

The clinical trial, called OASIS 1, lasted 68 weeks and included 667 adults with obesity or overweight. Participants also had at least one health condition related to their weight.The results showed that the weight loss was similar to the STEP 1 trial, which tested Wegovy (injectable semaglutide 2.4 mg) for obesity.In 2023,
