Nevolat is a prescription weight-loss treatment available in the UK that contains the active ingredient liraglutide. It comes in a pre-filled pen format and is used once a day alongside a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity.
Liraglutide is a GLP-1 medicine, meaning it works like a hormone your body naturally releases after a meal. By acting on appetite signals in the brain, Nevolat helps you feel fuller for longer, eat less and lose weight over time.
Nevolat contains the same active ingredient as Saxenda at the same strength. It’s prescription-only and must be assessed by a licensed UK pharmacist before being supplied.
Nevolat injections contain liraglutide, a medicine that works like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone your body naturally releases from the intestine after a meal.
By acting on appetite-controlling receptors in your brain, liraglutide helps you:
Used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity, Nevolat can aid weight loss gradually over time.
Nevolat is licensed for adults aged 18 and over who have:

Speak to your GP or pharmacist before using Nevolat if you:
Nevolat treatment uses a gradual dose increase over the first five weeks to help your body adjust and reduce the risk of side effects.
| Week | Daily Dose |
| Week 1 | 0.6mg |
| Week 2 | 1.2mg |
| Week 3 | 1.8mg |
| Week 4 | 2.4mg |
| Week 5 onwards | 3.0mg |
Once you reach the 3.0mg maintenance dose in week 5, you’ll stay on this dose for the rest of your treatment. Don’t increase your dose beyond 3.0mg per day.
To continue Nevolat beyond the first 12 weeks, you need to have lost at least 5% of your starting body weight on the 3.0mg daily maintenance dose. Your prescriber will review your progress before approving further treatment.
Liraglutide, the active ingredient in Nevolat, has been studied extensively as an effective weight loss treatment.
A 56-week study of 3,731 adults without diabetes found that patients taking liraglutide 3.0mg alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity lost an average of 8% of their starting body weight, compared with around 2.6% in the placebo group.
The same trial showed that:
Patients who lost at least 4% of their body weight within the first 16 weeks went on to lose an average of around 11% of their starting weight after a full year of treatment, but weight loss results vary from person to person.
Used alongside healthy eating habits, regular exercise and ongoing pharmacist support, Nevolat can help you reach your weight loss goals and work towards a healthy weight.
Nevolat is given as an injection just under the skin (subcutaneously). The best places to inject are:
Change the spot you use each day to reduce the risk of lumps forming under the skin. Don’t inject Nevolat into a vein or muscle.
Nevolat is a daily injection that can be taken at any time of day, with or without food. Pick a time that suits your routine and inject at roughly the same time each day to keep levels of the medicine consistent in your body.
For full step-by-step guidance, follow the user instructions included in your Nevolat pack.
Like all medicines, Nevolat can cause side effects, although most people tolerate it well. Side effects are most likely when starting treatment or moving up to a higher dose. The gradual dose escalation over the first five weeks helps reduce these effects, and most settle as your body adjusts.
The most common side effects when taking Nevolat usually improve within a few days or weeks of starting treatment:
Some side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. Stop using Nevolat and contact a doctor straight away if you notice:
For the full list, see the Nevolat Patient Information Leaflet.
If you experience any side effects, even if they aren’t listed in the patient information leaflet, report them to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. You can also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme.
If Nevolat isn’t suitable for you, or you’d prefer to try a different weight loss medicine, our clinic offers a range of other options.
Wegovy contains semaglutide, a different GLP-1 medicine to liraglutide. The main practical difference is dosing frequency: Wegovy is a weekly injection, while Nevolat is taken daily. Clinical studies suggest semaglutide may lead to slightly greater average weight loss than liraglutide.
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, which works on two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), while Nevolat works on GLP-1 alone. Mounjaro is a weekly injection and has shown the highest average weight loss in clinical trials among current weight loss medicines.
Nevolat and Saxenda contain the same active ingredient (liraglutide) at the exactly same strengths, in the same pen format, with the same dosing schedule. The main difference between Nevolat and Saxenda is price, with Nevolat typically the more affordable option.
Orlistat is a weight loss tablet available in the UK that’s taken orally with meals. It works differently to Nevolat as it reduces the amount of fat your body absorbs from food, rather than affecting appetite. Orlistat is generally less effective than GLP-1 injections but may suit patients looking for a non-injectable option.
You can buy Nevolat online from Click2Pharmacy after completing a short consultation. Our licensed UK pharmacists will prescribe this weight loss solution if it’s suitable for you, and your treatment will then be delivered straight to your door.
There’s no direct interaction between Nevolat and alcohol, but alcohol is high in calories and can slow your weight loss progress. Drinking may also make some of the common side effects, such as nausea and dizziness, feel worse. If you choose to drink, stay within UK guidelines and be mindful of how your body responds.
Yes, but switching medicines should always be done under the guidance of a pharmacist or GP. Mounjaro and Nevolat work in slightly different ways and have different dosing schedules, so your prescriber will advise on the right timing and starting dose for your switch.
No. You shouldn’t take liraglutide (the active ingredient in Nevolat and Saxenda) alongside tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro), or any other GLP-1 medicine. Combining these treatments isn’t safe and can increase your risk of side effects.
Yes, but the switch should be made under a pharmacist’s or GP’s supervision. Wegovy is a weekly semaglutide injection, while Nevolat is a daily liraglutide injection, so your prescriber will guide you on when to stop Wegovy and how to start Nevolat at the correct dose.
Many people notice changes in their appetite within the first few weeks of starting Nevolat, but visible weight loss is gradual. Most patients begin to see results once they reach the 3.0mg maintenance dose in week 5 and continue treatment alongside a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity.
Each Nevolat pen contains 18mg of liraglutide. Once you reach the 3.0mg maintenance dose, each pen lasts around six days. During the first few weeks, as your dose gradually increases, pens last longer because you’re using smaller daily amounts.
Most of the common side effects of Nevolat, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and headache, settle within a few days or weeks as your body adjusts. Side effects may also flare briefly when your dose is increased. If they feel severe or last longer than expected, speak to your pharmacist or GP.
Nevolat and Saxenda contain the same active ingredient (liraglutide) at the same strength (6mg/ml), in a pre-filled pen format with the same dosing schedule. They work identically, so you can expect the same effects from either medicine. The main difference is brand and price.
There’s no fixed treatment length for Nevolat. Your prescriber will review your progress at 12 weeks and help you set realistic weight loss goals based on how your body responds. You’ll only continue beyond this point if you’ve lost at least 5% of your starting body weight on the 3.0mg dose.
Many people stay on Nevolat for several months or longer alongside lifestyle changes, until they reach their target weight or their prescriber recommends stopping.
Yes. Nevolat is the brand name for Zentiva Pharma UK’s generic version of liraglutide. It contains the same active ingredient, at the same strength and in the same pen format as Saxenda, the original branded version. Generic medicines must meet the same safety and quality standards as their branded equivalents.
Nevolat is approved for ongoing use as part of a long-term weight management plan, and liraglutide for weight loss has been used clinically for several years. Your prescriber will review your treatment regularly to monitor your progress, check tolerability and adjust your plan as needed.
When you stop taking Nevolat, your appetite is likely to return to its previous level, which can make it easier to regain weight. To maintain your results, keep up the diet and exercise habits you built during your weight loss journey. If you’re thinking about stopping, talk to your pharmacist or GP first so they can help you plan the next steps.
If you miss a Nevolat dose and remember within 12 hours of your usual injection time, take it as soon as you remember. If more than 12 hours have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time the following day. Don’t double up or take an extra dose to make up for a missed one.
