Who qualifies for Saxenda

Saxenda (liraglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist prescribed for weight management. When considering your case, our EU-licensed doctors look for specific criteria to ensure it's safe and effective for you:

• Adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity).
• Adults with a BMI of 27 kg/m² to <30 kg/m² (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or obstructive sleep apnoea).
• You must be committed to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Certain conditions may make Saxenda unsuitable, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe heart failure. The doctor will assess all your health information during the private online consultation.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda helps you feel fuller and less hungry by mimicking a natural gut hormone (GLP-1) that regulates appetite. This can lead to reduced calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It's an aid to weight management, not a magic bullet. You still need to commit to lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, for it to be effective.

What it does: Helps control appetite, leading to weight loss when combined with diet and exercise. It's administered daily via injection.

What it doesn't do: It won't work without dietary changes and increased physical activity. It's not a cure for obesity but a tool to help manage it. Realistic weight loss is typically 5-10% of body weight over several months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when first starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time.

When to contact a doctor or stop:

• If you experience severe abdominal pain that doesn't go away (could be pancreatitis).
• Signs of gallbladder problems (e.g., pain in the upper abdomen, fever, jaundice).
• Severe allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing).
• Persistent and severe vomiting or diarrhoea leading to dehydration.

Always discuss any concerns with your doctor. If the side effects become intolerable or concerning, stop the medication and seek medical advice.
