Posso assumere integratori di fibre e Rybelsus insieme?

Perché succede

Rybelsus (semaglutide) è una compressa molto sensibile che deve essere assorbita attraverso il rivestimento dello stomaco. Gli integratori di fibre possono aumentare il volume del contenuto gastrico e legarsi al farmaco, bloccandone fisicamente l'assorbimento nel flusso sanguigno.

Devi prendere Rybelsus a stomaco vuoto appena ti svegli con un piccolo sorso di acqua naturale (non più di 120 ml). Aspetta almeno 30-60 minuti prima di prendere il tuo integratore di fibre, mangiare o assumere qualsiasi altro farmaco orale.

Choking and intestinal blockage

You must take fibre supplements with a full glass of water (at least 200ml). Taking them without enough liquid can cause the supplement to swell and block your throat or oesophagus, leading to choking or bowel obstruction.

Pancreatite

Stop using Rybelsus and seek urgent medical help if you develop severe, persistent stomach pain that may radiate to your back, as this can be a sign of an inflamed pancreas.

Diabetic retinopathy - Rybelsus

If you have type 2 diabetes, rapid improvement in blood sugar can temporarily worsen diabetic eye disease. You must report any changes in your vision to your doctor.

Gravidanza

You must stop taking semaglutide at least two months before a planned pregnancy because it may harm an unborn baby.

Drug absorption interference

Fibre can prevent other medicines from being absorbed properly. Take your other medications at least 1 hour before or 2 to 4 hours after taking a fibre supplement.

Alcol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol when taking these supplements. Alcohol can contribute to dehydration, which increases the risk of the supplement causing constipation or a bowel blockage.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking semaglutide. Alcohol can increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) and may worsen common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Heavy drinking also increases the risk of pancreatitis, a serious potential side effect of this medicine.

Acqua e liquidi

You must drink plenty of water (at least 200ml per dose) when taking fibre supplements. If you do not drink enough fluid, the supplement can cause a blockage in your intestine or throat.

Food and Drink (Timing)

If you are taking the tablet form (Rybelsus), you must take it on an empty stomach with a small sip of plain water (no more than 120ml). You must wait at least 30 minutes before eating, drinking anything else, or taking other oral medicines. Eating too soon will prevent the medicine from being absorbed properly.
