More Information
Summary:A novel dosage regimen of GLP-1 receptor agonists causes little or no side effects or drug interactions and is suitable for improving insulin resistance. Also provided is an insulin resistance improver for use in the dosage regimen. The dosage regimen comprises repeatedly administering, preferably in a non-invasive manner, a GLP-1 receptor agonist at least before eating for a predetermined period of time to create a condition similar to what is observed with postprandial temporary secretion of the endogenous GLP-1 receptor agonist, rather than administering it continuously. This creates a similar or enhanced variation in the plasma levels of GLP-1 receptor agonist as compared to the circadian variation of the endogenous GLP-1 receptor agonist in a healthy individual. A pharmaceutical composition for use in the dosage regimen containing GLP-1 receptor agonist as an active ingredient is also provided.
