Who qualifies for Saxenda
When you apply for an online Saxenda prescription, the EU-licensed doctor will assess your medical history and current health status. Generally, Saxenda (liraglutide) is prescribed for adults 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 type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for you, and they will also check for contraindications such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2.
What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)
Saxenda is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that tells your brain you're full. This helps you feel less hungry, eat less, and lose weight. It can also help control blood sugar. Saxenda is an aid to weight management, not a standalone solution. It is most effective when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It does not offer instant results; significant weight loss typically occurs over several weeks or months. It's important to have realistic expectations and commit to lifestyle changes to see the best outcomes.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment. These usually lessen over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. Your doctor will discuss all potential risks and benefits. You should stop using Saxenda and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of an allergic reaction. Always follow your doctor's advice and report any concerning symptoms.
