Struggling to lose weight even with diet and exercise? You’re not alone! At Volunteer Pharmacy, we’re excited to introduce you to Liraglutide—a doctor-approved weight loss solution that can help you finally reach your goals. Known as Saxenda, Liraglutide is a daily injection that works with your body to help you eat less, feel full longer, and shed those extra pounds. It’s been helping people just like you lose weight, boost energy, and feel more confident. Ready to learn how it can work for you?
What is Liraglutide?
Liraglutide is a special medication that acts like a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1. This hormone helps control your appetite and how your body handles food. Here’s how Liraglutide makes losing weight easier:
- Helps You Feel Full: It tells your brain you’re satisfied, so you’re not hungry all the time.
- Keeps You Satisfied Longer: It slows down how fast food leaves your stomach, so you don’t feel the need to snack as often.
- Supports Your Health: It can also help with things like blood sugar and blood pressure, making you feel better overall.
Liraglutide, the generic form of the brand-name Saxenda, is used for weight loss and is given as a simple daily shot. It’s meant for adults who are overweight or obese, especially if they have health issues like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. You’ll need a prescription from your doctor to get started.
What Does the Science Say About Liraglutide?
You don’t have to take our word for it—Liraglutide has been tested in big studies to prove it works! In one study with over 3,700 people, those using Liraglutide lost an average of 18 pounds in a year, compared to just 6 pounds for those who didn’t use it. Over 60% of people lost at least 5% of their weight—that’s like dropping 10 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds! Another study showed that Liraglutide can even lower your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and improve your heart health. It’s a trusted option that doctors have been using since it was approved by the FDA in 2014.
Your Liraglutide Weight Loss Journey: What to Expect
Liraglutide works best when you pair it with healthy eating and staying active. Here’s what your journey might look like:
- First Month: Getting Started
You’ll start with a small dose to get your body used to the medicine, working up to the full dose by week 5. You might notice you’re not as hungry, and you’re eating smaller portions. Some people lose a few pounds already, but you might feel a little nausea at first—it usually goes away. - Months 1–3: Seeing Progress
By the third month, you could lose 3–5% of your weight—that’s about 6–10 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds. You’ll likely feel less hungry, have fewer cravings, and start to feel more energetic. Maybe your jeans are fitting a bit looser! - Months 4–6: Feeling the Change
Around six months, many people lose 5–10% of their weight (10–20 pounds for a 200-pound person). You might notice it’s easier to move around, your energy is up, and you’re feeling better in your own skin. Plus, things like better blood pressure or blood sugar might make you feel healthier overall. - Months 6–12: Keeping It Up
After a year, studies show people lose an average of 8–10% of their weight (16–20 pounds for a 200-pound person). With Liraglutide and healthy habits, you can keep the weight off and enjoy feeling more active, confident, and happy.
Why You’ll Love Liraglutide
Liraglutide isn’t just about losing weight—it’s about feeling better in your everyday life. Here’s what it can do for you:
- Lose Weight for Good: Many people lose 5–10% of their weight in a year, and it stays off with healthy habits.
- Eat Less Without Trying: Feel full faster and stop craving snacks all the time.
- Feel Healthier: It can help with blood sugar, blood pressure, and even lower your risk of heart problems.
- Get Your Energy Back: Feel lighter, more active, and ready to enjoy life.
- Boost Your Confidence: Fit into your favorite clothes and feel great about yourself.
Things to Know: Side Effects and Safety
Liraglutide works well for most people, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Some people feel a little nauseous or have an upset stomach when they start, but this usually gets better after a few weeks. In studies, about 1 in 3 people had nausea at first, but most stuck with it and felt better over time.
There are some rare but serious risks to be aware of, like a small chance of thyroid issues or stomach problems like pancreatitis. That’s why it’s not right for everyone—especially if you have a history of thyroid cancer in your family or certain health conditions. Your doctor will check to make sure it’s safe for you. Also, about 1 in 10 people in studies stopped using Liraglutide because of side effects, so it’s important to talk to your doctor if you’re having a hard time.
Is Liraglutide Right for You?
Liraglutide could be a great fit if you:
- Are overweight or obese and want to lose weight.
- Have tried diet and exercise but need extra help.
