Liraglutide
Patients Seen For Weight Loss Programmes
Liraglutide was the first GLP-1 medication licensed for weight loss, originally sold under the name Saxenda. While Saxenda is no longer available, the same medication is now marketed under the name Nevolat.
If you are considering liraglutide, you are likely looking for help that actually works and, more importantly, lasts. At Dr Bazire’s clinic, we do not treat this medication as a quick fix. It is used as part of a structured, supportive programme designed to improve your health, not just reduce the number on the scales
What is Liraglutide (Nevolat)?
Liraglutide is a medication that can help reduce appetite and support weight loss.
It belongs to a group of medicines called GLP-1 receptor agonists. In simple terms, this means it works with your body’s natural signals to:
Reduce hunger
Help you feel full sooner and for longer
Support better blood sugar control
Liraglutide is taken as a daily injection, unlike some other treatments that are weekly.
This daily approach can feel more manageable for some people and allows more flexibility if adjustments are needed.
Nevolat is the current equivalent of Saxenda, which is no longer available.
How It Helps
Liraglutide can make it easier to eat less. It reduces cravings and helps you feel more in control.
But it does not replace the need for healthy habits.
Without the right support, people can:
Lose muscle instead of fat
Fall back into old eating patterns
Regain weight after stopping treatment
This is why we always combine liraglutide with expert guidance and support.
Why Our Approach Is Different
Many services focus only on weight loss.
We focus on health first.
Because it is possible to lose weight but still be unhealthy, for example, having low muscle mass and high body fat.
Our aim is to help you:
Lose fat, not muscle
Improve your energy and well-being
Build habits you can maintain long-term
You Are Not Expected to Do This Alone
Weight loss can feel overwhelming. Many people we see have tried multiple approaches before.
That’s why we provide multidisciplinary team support — meaning you have a group of professionals working together for you:
A doctor
For medical care and monitoring
A nutritionist
To guide your eating habits
A trainer
To help protect muscle and improve fitness
A coach
To support motivation and behaviour change
This means you are supported at every step — not left to figure things out on your own.
The Importance of Diet (Made Simple)
Liraglutide helps reduce your appetite — but what you eat still matters.
You don’t need a complicated or extreme diet.
You do need a clear, realistic structure.
Healthy weight loss requires:
Sufficient protein to protect muscle
Whole, minimally processed foods
Regular, balanced meals
The exclusion of ultra-processed foods (industrially manufactured foods that are easy to overeat)
Medication helps you stick to these habits, but it can't teach them.
Liraglutide vs Wegovy vs Mounjaro
All three medications help with appetite, but there are differences:
Liraglutide
Daily injection, steady and flexible approach.
Wegovy (semaglutide)
Mounjaro (tirzepatide)
The right choice depends on your situation, preferences, and medical history.

Common Questions
Yes. Nevolat contains the same active ingredient (liraglutide), so it works in exactly the same way.
No. They are similar, but liraglutide requires daily injection and tends to produce more gradual results.
Some weight loss may happen, but it is unlikely to be healthy or long-lasting without dietary changes.
Start Your Journey
If you’re considering Nevolat, the most important step is choosing the right support.
We focus on helping you feel better, move better, and build something that lasts — not just lose weight quickly.
Book a consultation to explore whether Nevolat, Wegovy or Mounjaro is right for you.
