Nevolat (Liraglutide) 3ml Pen (6mg/ml) is a prescription injectable medication used to help manage type 2 diabetes and support weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight conditions linked to health risks. Containing liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, it works by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates blood sugar levels, slows digestion, and helps control appetite.
Nevolat is administered once daily via a convenient pre-filled pen, making it easy to incorporate into your daily routine. It is typically used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for optimal results. This medication not only aids in lowering blood sugar levels but also contributes to sustainable weight management.
Each 3ml pen delivers liraglutide at a concentration of 6mg/ml and is suitable for use under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Before starting Nevolat, consult your doctor to ensure it's the right choice for your health needs.
Our pharmacists will do a quick clinical assessment before you start taking Nevolat to make sure it’s right for you.
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are not sure.
Your doctor will start you on a diet and exercise program. Stay on this program while you are using Nevolat.
