Abstract

Obesity is an extremely common chronic disease. The main directions in the treatment of obesity are: lifestyle modification and pharmacotherapy. Among the existing pharmacological drugs that are used to treat obesity, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, primarily liraglutide, are of particular interest.

This review presents the results of a number of studies that are devoted to the study of the efficacy and safety of liraglutide in the treatment of overweight and obesity, including patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Literature data indicate that the use of liraglutide causes a persistent decrease in body weight in most patients with overweight and obesity, leads to a significant improvement in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as to a decrease in the severity of obesity-associated arterial hypertension.

An important indication for the use of liraglutide is not only obesity, but also type 2 diabetes mellitus, which occurs against the background of overweight. The result of treatment with liraglutide in obese patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus is a reduction the risk of developing the latter, and, in obese patients, regardless of the presence or absence of diabetes, inhibition of the progression of atherosclerosis, hypertension and a decrease in cardiovascular risk. In addition, the use of liraglutide is a promising treatment for obesity-associated diseases such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome in women, and male infertility.

Liraglutide shows comparable effectiveness in the ability to reduce body weight in obese patients compared to other drugs of a similar nature, but, at the same time, leads to the most pronounced decrease in cardio-metabolic disorders in this category of patients.
