Acute Kidney Injury
There have been postmarketing reports of acute kidney injury and worsening of chronic renal failure, which may sometimes require hemodialysis, in patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, including semaglutide. Some of these events have been reported in patients without known underlying renal disease. A majority of the reported events occurred in patients who had experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration. Monitor renal function when initiating or escalating doses of Rybelsus in patients reporting severe adverse gastrointestinal reactions.

"You may need to take Rybelsus with other diabetes medications that help lower your blood sugar level. But certain drug combinations may lower your blood sugar too much. For example, using Rybelsus with insulin or insulin secretagogues may make your blood sugar level too low."
