Description
On this episode, I discuss liraglutide pharmacology, drug interactions, and adverse effects.
Liraglutide is well known to cause nausea. It is important to assess the severity of nausea as it may subside in some patients as they gain tolerability to the medication.

Liraglutide has a fairly low risk of hypoglycemia when used alone, but this risk increases when it is used with insulin or sulfonylureas.
Saxenda is the weight loss formulation of liraglutide and dosing is higher for weight management than it is for diabetes management.
