What is liraglutide?

Liraglutide is an FDA-approved liraglutide injection specifically designed for chronic weight management — not for type 2 diabetes.

What makes liraglutide distinct is its established track record. While weekly injections like Wegovy® and Zepbound® are relatively new to the market, liraglutide has been prescribed to millions of people since 2015, providing clinicians with extensive data on long-term outcomes, side effect management, and success patterns. It's also approved for adolescents aged 12 to 17 with obesity.

Taken once daily, liraglutide works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone to reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and support sustainable weight loss. Most people start at a lower dose and gradually increase over five weeks to reach the maintenance dose of 3 mg daily.

Reduces appetite and increases feelings of fullness

by activating GLP-1 receptors in areas of the brain that regulate hunger and satiety — helping you eat less without feeling deprived or fighting constant cravings.

Slows gastric emptying

to keep food in your stomach longer, preventing post-meal blood sugar spikes and creating a sustained sense of fullness that makes it easier to maintain a reduced-calorie diet.

Supports sustainable, gradual weight loss

with daily dosing that allows for steady, consistent appetite suppression rather than the once-weekly fluctuations some people experience with longer-acting GLP-1s.

Improves metabolic health markers

including blood pressure, cholesterol, and glycemic control — benefits that extend beyond the number on the scale to overall cardiometabolic wellness.

Ongoing support, always available.
