What is Liraglutide?

Liraglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes (Victoza, up to 1.8 mg/day) and chronic weight management (Saxenda, up to 3 mg/day). Requires once-daily injection due to its 13-hour half-life. The first GLP-1 agonist approved for weight management (2014), producing ~5–8% body weight loss. A solid option when semaglutide or tirzepatide are unavailable or when daily dosing is preferred.

Reconstitution Reference Table

Vial Size	BAC Water	Concentration	Low Dose Volume	High Dose Volume
6 mg/mL	1 mL vial	6,000 mcg/mL	0.10 mL	0.30 mL
18 mg/mL	3 mL pen	6,000 mcg/mL	0.10 mL	0.30 mL

How to Reconstitute Liraglutide

Liraglutide comes in pre-filled pen devices (Victoza/Saxenda)

Compounded versions: typically 6 mg/mL solution

0.6 mg starting dose = 0.1 mL of 6 mg/mL solution

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Liraglutide dose for weight loss?

A: Start 0.6 mg daily week 1. Increase by 0.6 mg weekly: 0.6 → 1.2 → 1.8 → 2.4 → 3.0 mg max.
