About Liraglutide
Liraglutide was a pioneering GLP-1 receptor agonist — the first in its class approved for chronic weight management (as Saxenda in 2014). While newer medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide have shown greater efficacy, liraglutide remains a viable option, particularly for patients who may not tolerate weekly injections or prefer a daily dosing schedule.
Expected Weight Loss
In the SCALE trial, participants on Saxenda lost an average of 8% of their body weight over 56 weeks, compared to 2.6% with placebo. About one-third of participants lost 10% or more. While less than newer GLP-1s, this remains clinically significant.
Cost
Without insurance, Liraglutide typically costs $1,000-$1,400/month (Saxenda). With insurance, costs range from $30-$200/month (limited coverage).
