Survodutide

Subcutaneous injection
Written by Peptide Association Editorial TeamMedically reviewed by Ian Justl Ellis, MD, CPTLast reviewed Editorial policy

Overview

Survodutide is a dual agonist targeting both the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon receptors, formulated as a peptide for subcutaneous administration. The compound is designed to leverage GLP-1-mediated glucose control and appetite suppression alongside glucagon-driven increases in energy expenditure and reduction of hepatic steatosis.

Mechanism of Action

It is being investigated for type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.

Research Summary & Key Findings

Phase 2 data presented in 2023 demonstrated substantial weight loss and reductions in liver fat in participants with obesity and metabolic dysfunction. The safety profile was generally consistent with GLP-1 receptor agonists, with gastrointestinal side effects being most common. Pivotal phase 3 trials are underway to assess long-term efficacy and safety.

Clinical Status

In Clinical Trials

Survodutide is currently undergoing clinical trials. It is not yet FDA-approved and is available only through clinical research settings or investigational protocols.

No lawful pathway today

Survodutide is not FDA-approved and does not currently have a lawful prescription or compounding pathway in the United States, so there is nothing for us to sell you here and no consultation to book. That can change: eight peptides moved back to a lawful pathway in February 2026.
