IN PLAIN TERMS
What Liraglutide is, and how to get treatment
Liraglutide is a medicine given as an injection under the skin once a day. Like semaglutide, it copies the natural gut hormone GLP-1, which tells the brain you have had enough to eat, so hunger and food cravings go down. For weight management in the EU it is sold as Saxenda and is used together with a reduced-calorie diet and more physical activity. It has been authorised in the EU for weight management since March 2015.
Liraglutide has been authorised for use in the EU since 23 March 2015, so a licensed doctor can prescribe it when it is clinically appropriate for you.

About
What is Liraglutide?
Active ingredient: Liraglutide · Dosages: 0.6 – 3 mg / day
Liraglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist given as a daily subcutaneous injection. It was one of the first in its class approved in Europe for weight management in adults with obesity, or overweight with comorbidities.
Compared with weekly GLP-1s, its daily dosing can be useful when flexibility of adjustment matters or when a semaglutide hasn't been tolerated. The doctor weighs this up in your consultation — two GLP-1 agonists are never combined.
How it works in the body
Like other GLP-1 analogues, liraglutide mimics a natural gut hormone: it eases hunger signals and produces earlier fullness, so you tend to eat less. Being shorter-acting, its dose is adjusted day by day.
How it helps
Three ways it supports weight loss.
Eases appetite
Earlier fullness and calmer hunger signals through the day.
Flexible dosing
Daily titration lets the doctor fine-tune the dose to your tolerance.
Long EU history
Among the first weight-management GLP-1s approved in Europe.
What to expect
A gradual, week-by-week build-up.
Treatment starts at a low daily dose and steps up through the intermediate doses as tolerated. Your doctor sets the pace and adjusts if side effects appear.
- Week 1 · 0.6 mg daily starting dose
- Following weeks · Step up through 1.2, 1.8 and 2.4 mg as tolerated
- Maintenance · 3 mg daily when appropriate
- Ongoing · Follow-up through your account chat
Typical escalation
- Starting dose0.6 mg / day
- Step-ups1.2 → 1.8 → 2.4 mg / day
- Maintenance3 mg / day
Your schedule is personal
These are typical steps only. Your doctor adjusts the plan to how you respond and tolerate it — and you can message them at any point.
Safety first
Safety, in full.
Liraglutide is an effective medicine — and like any medicine it carries risks. Your doctor screens for all of this before prescribing. Here's the honest picture, not just reassurance.
Adults with obesity (BMI ≥30) or overweight (BMI ≥27) with at least one weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or dyslipidaemia.
- Once-daily self-injection into the thigh, abdomen or upper arm, at any time of day but ideally at the same time each day.
- The dose is built up week by week to the maintenance dose, to limit digestive side effects.
- Works alongside diet and physical activity — it does not replace lifestyle change.
Who should not take it
- Allergy to liraglutide or any ingredient of the injection.
- Pregnancy, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
- Not to be combined with other GLP-1 receptor agonists.
- Not recommended in severe kidney or liver impairment, or in severe heart failure.
- Tell your doctor about any history of pancreatitis or gallstones.
