How Does Liraglutide Work?

Liraglutide: Empowering Diabetes & Obesity Treatment

Liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda) is a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 are incretin hormones released into the bloodstream after eating and play a critical role in insulin secretion. GLP-1 receptor agonists are thought to slow the progression of type 2 diabetes and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Liraglutide also suppresses appetite and delays gastric emptying. This results in a sense of fullness and can reduce hunger and calorie intake.

Optimal Liraglutide Use: Recommendations and Efficacy in Obesity Management

The American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and the Obesity Society recommend liraglutide use for people with:

A BMI greater than 30 kg/m2
A BMI of 27 kg/m2 or higher and associated conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, or obstructive sleep apnea

SCALE Obesity and Prediabetes (n = 3731) and SCALE Diabetes (n = 846) were 56-week, randomized, placebo-controlled studies that looked at the effects of liraglutide 3.0 mg. Both studies found that people who took liraglutide 3.0 mg lost more weight than those who took a placebo: 8% vs. 2.6% and 6% vs. 2%, respectively.

In clinical trials, 9.8% of patients treated with Saxenda and 4.3% of patients treated with placebo prematurely discontinued treatment as a result of adverse reactions.
