Question 1

What is Nevolat and how is it different from Saxenda?

Accepted Answer

Nevolat is a brand of liraglutide manufactured by Zentiva. It is the direct replacement for Saxenda, which has been discontinued. Both contain the same active ingredient (liraglutide 6mg/ml) at the same dose. Nevolat is a daily injection, unlike Mounjaro and Wegovy which are weekly.

Question 2

Is Nevolat cheaper than Mounjaro or Wegovy?

Accepted Answer

Nevolat is generally less expensive per month than Mounjaro or Wegovy, but it requires daily injections rather than weekly. When comparing costs, factor in that Nevolat needs 30 injections per month versus 4 for weekly GLP-1s. Treatcompare shows normalised weekly prices so you can compare fairly.

Question 3

Do I need a prescription for Nevolat?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nevolat (liraglutide) is a prescription-only medicine in the UK. You will need a clinical consultation before it can be dispensed. Most online providers include the consultation in their price or charge a separate fee.

Question 4

What doses does Nevolat come in?

Accepted Answer

Nevolat follows a dose escalation schedule: starting at 0.6mg daily, increasing weekly through 1.2mg, 1.8mg, and 2.4mg, up to the maintenance dose of 3mg daily. Your prescriber will guide the dose increases based on tolerability.

Question 5

Can I switch from Nevolat to Mounjaro or Wegovy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can switch GLP-1 medications. A new provider will carry out a fresh clinical assessment before prescribing. Many patients switch from daily liraglutide to a weekly injection (tirzepatide or semaglutide) for convenience. Always ensure your new provider is GPhC-registered.
