What is Liraglutide?

Liraglutide is an FDA-approved 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 patients since 2015, providing clinicians with extensive data on long-term outcomes, side effect management, and patient success patterns. It's also the only GLP-1 approved for adolescents aged 12-17 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 patients 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 patients 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.
