MOLECULE PROFILE

Liraglutide / Liraglutida

Peptide or peptide-related

GLP-1 receptor agonism affecting appetite and glucose physiology.

Sources checked · October 16, 2026

Published for review · Scientific, medical, translation and citation review pending. Reported uses are not authorized indications. Frequency reflects mentions in supplied sources, not sales or global clinical prevalence.

Identity and synonyms

Identity follows the supplied name and synonyms; no additional identity description is supplied.

Synonyms: Saxenda · Victoza

Peptide or peptide-related · Peptide or peptide derivative

Detailed molecular class: GLP-1 peptide analogue

Supplied sequence or chemical reference

See identity note; no supplier sequence accepted as verification.

Mechanism

GLP-1 receptor agonism affecting appetite and glucose physiology.

Evidence and critical reading

Reported scientific and empirical uses

Reported glycemic control · Reported weight management

GLP-1 analogue with product/indication-specific dosing; not every vial is Saxenda/Victoza.

Human evidence

SCALE randomized trial supports weight management in its population; diabetes and obesity products have different indications.

Preclinical evidence

Mechanistic evidence does not justify adding other GLP-1 drugs.

Critical reading and limitations

SCALE enrolled 3,731 adults and showed greater weight loss; daily dosing cannot be converted to weekly dosing.

Evidence applies to the exact molecule, formulation, route, population and endpoint studied. Supplier identity, purity and clinical equivalence are unverified.

Source-specific regimens

Descriptive source observations, not individual recommendations.

Regulatory product labeling

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

Human-study exposure

NOT A RECOMMENDATION.Each amount is attributed to the source identified for that entry: regulatory product labeling, human research, or community and practice sources. These source categories have different evidentiary roles. They are not medical advice, not a protocol, not a recommended or safe dose, and not evidence that it works. Do not use them to start, change or stop any treatment. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.

Reported by A Randomized, Controlled Trial of 3.0 mg of Liraglutide in Weight Management.

Empirical handbook

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

Regulation and safety

Jurisdiction-specific regulatory context

EU: Saxenda authorized for weight management in defined age/BMI/weight groups. Separate US label review pending.

Adverse effects and unknowns

GI adverse effects are common. Full contraindication and interaction extraction must use the exact current product label; do not copy another GLP-1 label.

GI events and label precautions; do not attribute monotherapy safety to mixtures.

Contraindications

See supported safety statements and exact product label; a complete contraindication set has not been established for this catalog material.

A complete list must match the exact authorized product. For experimental materials without verified human labeling, a complete contraindication set is not established here. No list does not mean safety.

Interactions

Only explicitly cited interactions may be asserted; unstudied combinations remain unknown, not interaction-free.

Separate documented interaction, pharmacologic plausibility and unknown interaction. Absence of a blend trial does not establish compatibility.

Studies and trials

Selected studies

No selected studies are attributed in this record.

Trials attributed in the package

No trials are attributed in this record.

Trial registration does not establish efficacy or validate commercial material.
