Nevolat is a prescription-only weight loss medication containing the active ingredient liraglutide. It is approved for adults who meet specific BMI (Body Mass Index) criteria and should be used alongside a calorie-controlled diet and regular exercise for best results. Liraglutide mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), a naturally occurring hormone released after eating. By imitating this hormone, Nevolat helps control appetite, reduce hunger, and support weight loss. It is suitable for adults with obesity or for those who are overweight with weight-related health conditions. Nevolat should always be used under medical supervision, with regular monitoring to track progress and manage any potential side effects.

Before
starting treatment, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional,
especially if you take other medications or have existing medical conditions.
During an online consultation, your provider will review your medical history
to determine if Nevolat is suitable for you.
How Does Nevolat Support Weight Loss?
Nevolat
works by activating the GLP-1 receptor, which slows the rate at which
the stomach empties food. This helps you feel fuller for longer, reduce
appetite, and lower calorie intake naturally.
By
promoting feelings of fullness, Nevolat encourages conscious eating habits
and helps reduce the tendency to overeat. Over time, this can support long-term
weight management, even after discontinuing treatment.
How to Use Nevolat
Nevolat
is administered using a pre-filled injection pen once daily.
