Nevolat

Buy Nevolat Online

Nevolat is a prescription-only treatment that contains Liraglutide, a medication that mimics GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide), a natural hormone responsible for regulating appetite.

Nevolat targets receptors in the brain that are responsible for sending hunger signals, reducing food intake, and contributing to weight loss.

When to Use Nevolat Weight Loss Injections?

Nevolat is a GLP-1 receptor agonist mimicking the naturally occurring hunger reduction hormone. When used in injections, it can reduce hunger and cravings, contributing to weight loss.

If any of the following apply, Nevolat may be a suitable treatment option:

You’re an adult over 18 with a BMI of 30 or over (classed as obese), or you have a BMI of 27 and over and a weight-related condition (type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea, high blood pressure).

A child over 12 is classed as obese and may benefit from the treatment.

As a prescription treatment, Nevolat isn’t available over the counter, and you’ll need to complete an in-depth assessment before our pharmacists will prescribe it.

Age Restrictions

Nevolat is mostly available for adults over 18 with a high BMI, but it may be used in adolescents over 12 in some cases. However, the child must have a high BMI and weight of at least 60kg to use the treatment.

If a doctor feels it might benefit a young person, they’ll discuss the potential risks and ensure it’s the right decision.

How to Use a Nevolat Pen?

When using Nevolat injections, please follow these steps to ensure safety:

• Prepare: Always store new pens in the fridge. Check whether the liquid in the pen is clear, as expired pens might be cloudy. Wash your hands and attach a disposable needle to the pen.
• Flow Check: Follow the instructions in the leaflet to check the pen’s flow and ensure it’s working correctly.
• Set The Dose: You can set your dose by turning the dose selector. Please only take the prescribed amount and never increase the dose without medical advice.
• Injection: The best places to inject Nevolat include the upper arm, thighs and abdomen. It’s best to rotate injection sites to avoid inflammation and irritation.
• Dispose: Cover the needle with the cap and dispose of it in a specialist sharps container.

Remember, Nevolat is a daily injection and using it at the same time each day ensures you stick to a routine. When prescribed the treatment, you’ll begin with a low dose of 0.6 mg and gradually increase it to the maintenance dose of 3.0 mg.

When to Avoid Using Nevolat for Weight Management?

Liraglutide is a powerful weight loss treatment, but it’s not suitable for everyone. If any of the following apply, you should avoid using Nevolat:

• Allergies: If you’re sensitive or allergic to any of Nevolat’s ingredients, you should avoid using it.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Nevolat isn’t suitable if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. You should also avoid using it if you’re planning to become pregnant.
• History of MTC): If you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, you should avoid using the medicine, as it may increase your risk of developing thyroid tumours.
• Heart Failure: Nevolat may be unsuitable for patients with heart failure, although more research is needed to assess its potential effects.
• Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Nevolat isn’t an insulin substitute, and patients with Type 1 diabetes should continue with their regular treatment schedule.
• Severe Renal & Hepatic Impairment: If you have severe renal or hepatic impairment, you should avoid using Nevolat.

Precautions

While the following doesn’t automatically rule you out from using Nevolat, you should seek medical advice:

• Pancreatitis: Liraglutide can increase your risk of developing pancreatitis – especially if you have a history of the condition.
• Gastrointestinal Disease: If you have inflammatory bowel disease, you might need to avoid using Nevolat as it can worsen your symptoms.
• Thyroid Problems: Individuals with thyroid issues should be cautious when using Liraglutide.
• Seniors: There’s limited research on whether Nevolat is suitable for people over 75.
• Other Medicines: If you’re taking other medicines – including anticoagulants – you should speak to a doctor before using Nevolat.
• Other GLP-1s: You should never take Nevolat with other GLP-1 medicines, including lixisenatide and exenatide.

Ingredients

Nevolat contains the active ingredient of Liraglutide, which mimics the GLP-1 hormone. This is the key ingredient as it regulates your appetite and reduces food intake.

Inactive ingredients include:

• Propylene glycol
• Sodium citrate dihydrate
• Hydrochloric acid
• Phenol
• Water
• Sodium hydroxide

Is Nevolat the same as Saxenda?

Saxenda is the brand name injection and contains the same active medication as Nevolat, liraglutide. Saxenda is no longer being manufactured.

What happens if I miss a dose?

If you forget to inject and remember it within 12 hours from when you usually use the dose, inject it as soon as you remember. However, over 12 hours since you last used Nevolat, skip the missed dose and inject your next dose the following day at the usual time. Do not double dose or increase the dose on the following day to make up for the missed dose.

Important: If you have a 3 day (or more) break in using Nevolat, you should restart at the lowest dose (0.6 mg) and work up again. This is to avoid severe side effects.

Can I switch from a different weight loss injection to Nevolat?

If you’re using a different weight loss injection, you’ll need to wait at least 1 week before switching to Nevolat. This will allow time for your body to ‘flush’ out your old weight loss medication. All patients should start on 0.6 mg.

What is the difference between the different weight loss injections

All of the weight loss injections (Nevolat, Mounjaro, Wegovy) work in a similar way by imitating a hormone released by the body when you eat called a glucagon-like peptide (GLP).

The active ingredient in Nevolat, Mounajro and Wegovy all act on one of the body’s hormonal receptors (GLP-1) which regulates blood sugar levels and, in turn, talks to the brain to make you feel less hungry and prevent cravings. It also slows down the emptying of the stomach to keep you feeling fuller for longer.

In addition, the active ingredient in Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works on an additional hormone receptor called a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). GIP regulates energy balance in brain and fat cells, enhancing the GLP-1 effect of suppressing your appetite and improving sugar control.

Can I drink alcohol while using Nevolat?

We advise you to limit alcohol intake while using Nevolat. This is because the side effects of using alcohol such as nausea, vomiting or headache, are similar to the side effects of using Nevolat. Taking Nevolat and alcohol at the same time can increase the severity of these side effects.

Decreasing or limiting the amount of alcohol you drink while using Nevolat will also help with your weight loss since alcohol is often an underestimated source of calories.

What are alternative weight loss treatments?

There are some alternative treatments available, if you find that Nevolat is not for you. Some of these such as Wegovy and Mounjaro work in a similar way to Nevolat while others such as orlistat (Xenical) work by blocking the body’s absorption of fat from food.
