Who qualifies for Liraglutide

Liraglutide (often known as Saxenda) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist prescribed for chronic weight management. Our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure it's safe and effective for you. Generally, you qualify if you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of:

• 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity)
• 27 kg/m² to <30 kg/m² (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Before prescribing, the doctor will also assess your medical history for contraindications. These include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, or severe kidney disease. You must be over 18 years old. Always be honest and thorough in your medical questionnaire; the doctor's review is for your safety.

What Liraglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Liraglutide works by mimicking GLP-1, a natural hormone that helps regulate your appetite. It increases feelings of fullness, reduces hunger, and slows stomach emptying. This helps you eat less and feel satisfied longer. When combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, Liraglutide can lead to significant weight loss, typically 5-10% of initial body weight over a year. It's a tool to support lifestyle changes, not a magic bullet. It doesn't guarantee specific weight loss numbers, and results vary from person to person. It also doesn't replace the need for healthy eating and regular exercise.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Liraglutide can cause side effects. Most common are mild and temporary gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation, especially when you first start treatment or increase your dose. These often improve over time as your body adjusts. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), gallbladder problems, or kidney issues. You should stop using Liraglutide and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing). Our doctors provide clear guidance on managing side effects and when to discontinue treatment if necessary.
