Overview

Liraglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works similarly to Semaglutide but requires daily injections instead of weekly. It helps control appetite, slows digestion, and improves blood sugar regulation. Originally developed for diabetes (Victoza), a higher dose version (Saxenda) was approved specifically for weight management. It's a proven option for those who prefer more frequent, smaller doses.
