What is Survodutide?
GLP-1/glucagon receptor dual agonist; emerging metabolic compound.
How Survodutide works
Dual GLP-1/glucagon agonist — GLP-1 for appetite/satiety, glucagon emphasized for hepatic/metabolic effect (fatty liver).
Benefits & uses
- Weight loss
- Appetite reduction
- Notable liver benefit (MASH program)
- Glucagon-driven metabolic effect
Common uses: Fat loss / obesity, fatty liver disease (MASH), metabolic health.
Survodutide dosage
- Typical dose
- Typical: start ~0.3–0.6 mg/week SubQ, titrate up toward 3–6 mg/week. Once weekly.
Survodutide half-life
~weekly dosing
Survodutide side effects
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Heart-rate increase
Warnings & monitoring
- Titrate slowly for GI tolerance
- Glucagon component can raise heart rate
- Class GLP-1 risks apply
- Thyroid C-cell class caution
- Not for pregnancy
Preparation & storage
- Preparation
- Mix a 10 mg vial with 2 mL bac water → 5 mg/mL. A 0.6 mg dose = 0.12 mL = 12 units. Start low, titrate up.
- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute a 10 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water → 5 mg/mL. A 0.6 mg dose = 0.12 mL = 12 units on a U-100 syringe.
