How Nevolat works

Nevolat contains the active ingredient liraglutide, a member of the group of medicines known as GLP-1 receptor agonists. They mimic the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) hormone that the body naturally produces. This hormone is released from the intestine after a meal and acts on the receptors in the brain that control your appetite. It causes you to feel less hungry and fuller for longer, leading to reduced food consumption and a lower body weight.

Nevolat dosage and schedule

Usually, the amount of treatment that you inject will increase over time as you take this medication. Your prescriber will always advise you on how much you should be injecting in your consultation, you should always listen to this and never inject more than has been said to you. With this being said, a typical titration will look like this:

How to take Nevolat weight loss injections

Always use Nevolat exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as instructed by your prescriber. Nevolat should be administered once daily, preferably at the same time each day.

Injecting your Nevolat pen 

• Start by thoroughly washing your hands with soap and water. Then, pull off the pen cap and check your pen. The solution must be clear and colourless. If it looks cloudy, do not use it. Check your pen for damage; do not use a damaged or expired pen.
• You must check the flow before each injection. Holding the pen with the needle pointing up, turn the dose selector until the counter shows the flow check symbol past ‘0’.
• Press and hold the dose button until the dose counter returns to ‘0’. The ‘0’ must line up with the dose pointer, and a drop of solution should appear at the needle tip. If no drop appears, recheck the flow. You can do this up to 6 times. If there is still no drop of solution, change the needle and check the flow again. If the drop of solution still doesn’t appear, dispose of the pen and use a new one.
• Next, you must select your dose. Turn the dose selector until the dose counter shows your dose. If you choose the wrong dose, you can turn the dose selector forward or backwards to change it. Always check the dose before you inject yourself.
• The pen scale will show you how much solution you have left in your pen. Turn the dose selector until the dose counter stops. For example, if your pen shows 3.0mg, there is enough left in your pen for a full 3.0mg dose. However, if the dose counter stops before 3.0mg, there won’t be enough left. You must contact your prescriber if you need more medicine than what is left in your pen. 
• Now, you need to insert the needle into your skin, ensuring you can see the dose counter. Do not cover it with your fingers, as this could interrupt your injection.
• Press and hold the dose button until the dose counter shows ‘0’. The ‘0’ must line up with the dose pointer. You may then hear or feel a click. Keep the needle inside your skin and slowly count to 6. If you remove the needle earlier, you may see the solution coming from the needle, meaning you have not received the full dose. 
• You can now remove the needle from the skin. After this, release the dose button. If blood appears at the injection site, press lightly. After injecting, you may see a drop of solution at the tip of the needle. This is normal and does not affect your dose. 

After injecting your Nevolat pen

Once you have finished your injection, you should use a flat surface to direct the needle tip to the outer needle cap. 

Carefully push the outer cap entirely on when you have covered the needle. 

Unscrew the needle and dispose of it carefully in a sharps container. Do not store your pen with the needle attached. Removing the needle prevents it from becoming blocked, leaking, or allowing air to enter the pen.

Finally, replace the pen cap. Do not store the pen without replacing the pen cap, as it will protect the solution from light.
