Liraglutide is a prescription GLP-1 receptor agonist used for type 2 diabetes and weight management in specific indications. It can strongly affect appetite and GI tolerance, and non-medical use is high-risk.
Common reasons people consider it
- blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes contexts (prescription use)
- weight-loss support in indicated patients (prescription programs)
- appetite reduction and reduced food noise discussions (variable)
Most commonly reported downsides
- nausea
- vomiting or stomach upset
- constipation or diarrhea
- reduced appetite that can overshoot into under-eating
Rare but important symptoms to watch for
These are uncommon, but if they occur, stop and seek medical care.
- severe persistent vomiting or dehydration
- severe abdominal pain (urgent evaluation)
- signs of low blood sugar when combined with other diabetes meds (confusion, fainting)
- severe allergic reaction symptoms (hives, facial swelling, trouble breathing)
Who should be cautious
- people with a history of pancreatitis or severe GI disease
- people on insulin or sulfonylureas (hypoglycemia-risk context when combined)
- people with eating disorder history or extreme appetite suppression risk
- pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
- adolescents (only appropriate in defined indications under medical care)
Interactions summarize known or plausible ways this peptide may intersect with medications, supplements, or physiologic states. Use this as a risk-awareness map: what to ask about, what to watch for, and what deserves a clinician conversation.
