GLP-1 Injectables

Liraglutide

  • Liraglutide is used to treat type 2 diabetes & for long-term weight management. This drug belongs to a class of drugs known as GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which works by mimicking the effects of the hormone GLP-1  in the body. When used as a weight management treatment, Liraglutide helps control appetite, regulates blood sugar, and promotes the feeling of fullness.

  • Liraglutide is typically well-tolerated, but like any medications, it can cause side effects in some individuals. Most possible side effects are GI related, including nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, & abdominal discomfort. At Preston’s Pharmacy, we compound Liraglutide with Vitamin B12 to decrease these unwanted GI side effects.

  • Liraglutide’s noticeable effects on weight loss varies among individuals. Generally, significant weight loss can be observed within a few weeks to a couple of months of starting. However, it’s important to remember that individual responses to the medication may differ due to factors such as metabolism, lifestyle choices, and adherence to the treatment plan. Consulting with your pharmacist, we will provide personalized guidance on how long it may take for Liraglutide to work effectively for each person’s weight loss journey.

  • Liraglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that reduces appetite control & has fewer side effects compared to other weight loss medications. These other treatments focus solely on reducing caloric intake or increasing physical activity, but Liraglutide combines these effects with its ability to regulate blood sugar levels and enhance the feeling of fullness.

  • Liraglutide is generally recommended for weight loss for adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 of higher, indicating obesity, or for adults with a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight- related medical condition. It is also available for weight loss for children 12 years or older with a BMI of 30 or higher and 130 lbs, indicating obesity. It is typically prescribed for individuals who have not achieved sufficient weight loss through diet and exercise alone. However, individual eligibility can vary, and it is important to consult a healthcare provider to determine if Liraglutide is a suitable option based on your medical history, current health status, and weight loss goals.

  • Subcutaneous Injection

    1. Wash your hands with soap and water & assemble your Liraglutide vial, 2 alcohol prep pads, syringe, & a sharps container (tip: an empty bleach or detergent container works).

    2. Pull the tab on top of the vial, revealing the rubber stopper. Wipe down the top of the vial with an alcohol pad. Next, take the syringe out & remove the cap, being very careful not to let anything touch the needle.

    3. Push the needle into the hole of the rubber stopper of the vial. Turn the vial & syringe upside down. Slowly pull the plunger down past the prescribed dose, then slowly push the plunger back up to the prescribed dose (this removes any air bubbles). Check the dosage in the syringe & carefully remove the syringe from the vial.

    4. Locate the desired injection. Injection sites are: glute, thigh, arm, & stomach. For the glute, with the help of another, inject in the upper, outer quarter towards the hip bone. For the thigh, inject in the middle of the thigh, slightly towards the outside. For the arm, with the help of another, inject in the back, thick skin of the upper arm. For the stomach, inject in the middle of the stomach, two inches to either side of the belly button. Make sure to alternate injection sites each time, either different locations or different sides of the body.

    5. Wipe down the injection site with an alcohol wipe. Hold the syringe between your thumb, index, and middle fingers like a pen or dart. Touch the needle to your skin and quickly slide it into the skin. Quickly pull the needle straight out of the skin. Lastly, place the syringe in the sharps container for safe disposal.
