Hormonal
Weekly subcutaneous liraglutide (3.0 mg) produces significant weight loss (-5.24 kg) and improves cardiometabolic markers in adults with overweight/obesity, though it is less effective than semaglutide 2.4 mg.
If you have obesity or overweight with related health issues, daily liraglutide injections, combined with diet and exercise, can lead to moderate weight loss (around 5 kg) and improve heart and metabolic health. Start with a low dose to minimize side effects, and gradually increase it as tolerated. Note that it may be less effective than other options like semaglutide.
