How it works — get your Saxenda prescription in 4 steps

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (a secure PDF file) directly in your Hi-Doctor account and via email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone. Present this prescription at any pharmacy in the EU to collect your Saxenda.

Who qualifies for Saxenda

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case carefully to ensure Saxenda is safe and effective for you. Generally, doctors look for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pregnancy, breastfeeding, or severe kidney or liver disease. Your doctor will review your full medical history in the questionnaire to determine if Saxenda is the right choice.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda (liraglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. This helps you feel fuller, reduces hunger, and can lead to eating less and losing weight. It's important to understand that Saxenda is an aid to weight management, not a standalone solution. It works best when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic weight loss timelines vary, and consistent use alongside lifestyle changes is key. It does not offer instant results or guarantee a specific amount of weight loss, but it supports your efforts in a sustainable way.

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. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and report any concerning symptoms immediately. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes, stop using Saxenda and seek medical attention. Your doctor will provide full guidance on monitoring side effects and when to discontinue treatment.
