I have been taking 7 mg of Ribelsius for a few months and it has coincided with an unbearable redness and very small lacerations in the lower part of the glans on the skin by which it is wrapped. The antiseptic cream suggested by the doctor soothes the burning a little but is always annoying. What can be done, please? My e-mail : bianconenzo@gmail.com

Skin symptoms such as redness, burning, and minor wounds may be an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to Rybelsus (semaglutide), though these are not the most commonly reported side effects of this drug. Redness and sores on the skin can be the result of hypersensitivity to the drug, but it is worth consulting a doctor to rule out other causes, such as infections or allergic reactions.
The use of an antiseptic cream can relieve the burning sensation, but if the symptoms are persistent or worsen, it is necessary to consult a doctor. It is not recommended to discontinue the drug on your own without medical consultation.

I also encourage you to report the symptoms you experience to your doctor, as well as to report the occurrence of an adverse effect of the preparation. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
