How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Liraglutide). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Liraglutide is an acylated human GLP-1 receptor agonist with 97% amino acid sequence homology to endogenous human GLP-1(7-37).

GLP-1(7-37) represents <20% of total circulating endogenous GLP-1.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Liraglutide is endogenously metabolized in a similar manner to large proteins without a specific organ as a major route of elimination.

How it leaves the body

Only a minor part of the administered radioactivity was excreted as liraglutide-related metabolites in urine or feces (6% and 5%, respectively).
