Can I take Fibre supplements and Rybelsus together?

Why this happens

Rybelsus (semaglutide) is a very sensitive tablet that must be absorbed through the stomach lining. Fibre supplements can bulk up the stomach contents and bind to the medication, physically blocking it from being absorbed into your bloodstream.

What you should do

You must take Rybelsus on an empty stomach when you first wake up with a small sip of plain water (no more than 120ml). Wait at least 30 to 60 minutes before taking your fibre supplement, eating, or taking any other oral medications.
