How it works

Two GLP-1 copies welded to albumin, your blood's slowest taxi, riding all week to nudge insulin out of the pancreas after meals.

What it's made of

Two copies of GLP-1, the gut's fullness hormone (30 amino acids), attached to human albumin. One changed amino acid (glycine in place of alanine) protects it from the enzyme that cuts GLP-1.

What it's for

Prescribed for
No longer prescribed. It was approved for type 2 diabetes in adults, along with diet and exercise.
