GLP-1 / Metabolic

Liraglutide

Also known as: Victoza

Liraglutide is an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist marketed as Victoza (type 2 diabetes, approved 2010) and Saxenda (chronic weight management, approved 2014). It was the first GLP-1 analog approved for obesity and carries an FDA boxed warning for the risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. Pediatric indications include type 2 diabetes in patients ≥10 years (Victoza) and obesity in patients ≥12 years with BMI ≥95th percentile (Saxenda).

Prices observed from public storefronts (last 24h), normalized to $/mg. "Evidence" is Merit's 0–100 Merit Score, derived only from observable verification evidence (methodology on /about); "Purity" is the latest independent COA. Some buy links are affiliate links — Merit may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and where a vendor offers one, the code shown gets you a discount at their checkout. Affiliate status never affects price data, ranking, or the Merit Score (full policy on /disclosure). Research use only.

Effects of the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide on bupivacaine-induced sciatic nerve block in a rat model

Purpose Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists exhibit neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects; however, their role as perineural adjuvants in peripheral nerve blocks has not been investigated.

Liraglutide-Induced Acute Hepatocellular Injury With Positive Rechallenge: A Case Report and Literature Review

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide is widely used in type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity and is generally considered non-hepatotoxic, with only rare reports of idiosyncratic liver injury.
