&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-contrast=&quot;none&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;TextRun SCXW126023696 BCX0&quot; lang=&quot;EN-SG&quot; xml:lang=&quot;EN-SG&quot; data-contrast=&quot;auto&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;NormalTextRun SCXW126023696 BCX0&quot;&gt;Liraglutide)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;is a prescription medicine in Singapore that uses a prefilled injectable pen for weight management or diabetes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot; data-contrast=&quot;none&quot;&gt;Liraglutide is similar to a natural hormone known as&amp;nbsp;glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1. It works by&amp;nbsp;controlling&amp;nbsp;areas of your brain that&amp;nbsp;control&amp;nbsp;your appetite. Liraglutide makes you feel&amp;nbsp;fuller, leading to less eating and gradually losing weight.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The medication works by enhancing insulin secretion, suppressing glucagon release, and slowing gastric emptying, which collectively help control blood glucose levels and promote weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Uses of Liraglutide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;1. Type 2 Diabetes Management&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It helps lower blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of complications associated with diabetes, such as cardiovascular diseases.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;2. Weight Management&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Liraglutide, &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hsa.gov.sg/announcements/new-drug-indication-approvals/new-drug-indication-approval---may-2022&quot;&gt;which is marketed under another brand name&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, is prescribed for weight management in adults who are overweight or obese and have at least one weight-related condition, such as hypertension or dyslipidemia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness aids in significant weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Liraglutide &amp;amp; Weight Management&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Haven&#39;t responded well to diet and exercise alone&amp;mdash;an inadequate response to reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity alone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Weigh more than 60 kg.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

However, each is approved for use with particular symptoms or conditions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Before initiating weight loss treatment, consult a doctor to see if you&#39;re suitable for Liraglutide. The doctor will also teach you how to use the pen.&amp;nbsp;Liraglutide comes in the form of an injectable pen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Administer your&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Liraglutide&lt;/span&gt; dose beneath the skin (subcutaneously) in either your abdominal area (stomach), upper thigh (leg), or upper arm, following the guidance of your healthcare provider.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do not inject it into a vein or muscle. To lower the risk of developing skin lumps (cutaneous amyloidosis), vary (rotate) the injection site within your chosen area for each injection. Avoid using the same spot repeatedly.?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Important:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Refrain from injecting this medication into your veins or muscles. Furthermore, never share your injection pen with anyone else.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An abnormal or excessive buildup of body fat is a key indicator of overweight and obesity, which presents serious health risks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As per the World Health Organization (WHO), individuals with a body mass index (BMI)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;above 25 (BMI) are labelled as overweight, and&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a exceeding 30 (BMI) are categorized as obese.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obesity is closely linked to the development of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. When the body accumulates too much fat, especially around vital organs like the pancreas and liver, it can lead to insulin resistance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, obesity is linked to&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/semaglutide-singapore&quot;&gt;weight-related medical problems such as diabetes&lt;/a&gt;, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or breathing problems during sleep (obstructive sleep apnoea).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Losing weight can help reduce the risk of complications from chronic diseases such as stroke&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;heart disease, too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;When it comes to weight loss, there is no quick fix.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Any good solution would involve a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. If you have existing chronic medical conditions, consult your doctor to find the best solution.

&lt;h2 aria-level=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;What are the Side Effects?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
