Survodutide

An investigational once-weekly GLP-1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist studied for obesity and MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis). It has shown promising liver-fibrosis and weight data in trials.

Long-acting — weekly dosing keeps levels steady. After the last dose, roughly 97% has cleared in ~5 weeks (five half-lives) — the window that matters for washouts, bloodwork and surgery.

What Survodutide is used for

  • Dual GLP-1 and glucagon action targets both weight loss and liver fat
  • Shown meaningful MASH improvement and fibrosis benefit in trials
  • Once-weekly subcutaneous dosing

How it's typically used

Trial range: titrated to roughly 6 mg subcutaneously once weekly in obesity and MASH studies, as reported in the literature.

What to watch for

  • GI side effects are common, particularly during dose escalation
  • Glucagon agonism can raise heart rate and affect glucose, requiring monitoring
  • Investigational; not approved for any use

About GLP-1 & weight loss

What they are
Incretin analogues — GLP-1 and dual/triple agonists. They slow stomach emptying and act on appetite centres in the brain, so you eat less without white-knuckling it.
How they're run
One subcutaneous shot a week for most, on the same day each week. Doses climb in steps every four weeks; that slow titration is what keeps side effects tolerable.
What to watch
Nausea, constipation, and reflux are near-universal in the first month. Muscle is lost alongside fat unless you keep protein high and keep lifting. Tell any surgeon or anaesthetist you are on one.
