Description:
Liraglutide is a medicine called a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it acts like a natural hormone in your body that helps control hunger and blood sugar. It helps people feel full faster and less hungry, so they eat less and lose weight. The medicine is given as a small shot once a day. When used along with healthy eating and exercise, it can help people lose weight over time—usually about 5% to 10% of their body weight after several months. Some people may feel a little sick to their stomach at first, but that usually gets better.
