Print this list and bring it to your next Rybelsus appointment. Twelve questions organized into four blocks — eligibility, dosing, side effects, and cost — so you don't leave the room with anything important unaddressed.
Eligibility
1Based on my BMI and conditions, am I a good candidate for Rybelsus?
2Do I have any contraindications — personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN 2, pancreatitis, or severe gastroparesis?
3Should I have any baseline labs (A1C, lipid panel, kidney function, thyroid TSH) before starting?
Dosing & titration
1What's the titration schedule you're planning for me?
2If I have severe nausea on a dose, will you slow titration or pause it?
3How long do I typically stay on the maintenance dose before we evaluate?
Side effects & safety
1What side effects should I expect in the first month, and what's a red flag that should make me call you?
2What other medications I take could interact with Rybelsus?
3Should I avoid alcohol, certain foods, or specific OTC remedies while titrating?
Cost & coverage
1Will my insurance cover Rybelsus, and will you handle the prior authorization?
2Are there manufacturer savings programs or coupons that would lower my out-of-pocket cost?
3If insurance denies coverage, what's the most affordable cash-pay path you'd recommend?
