Who qualifies for Saxenda
Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if Saxenda is a suitable treatment. Generally, doctors look for patients who meet specific criteria for weight management:
- Adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater (obesity).
- Adults with a BMI of 27 or greater (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity, such as prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal blood fat levels, or obstructive sleep apnea.
- Patients without contraindications such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or severe kidney or liver disease.
The doctor considers your full medical history provided in the questionnaire to ensure Saxenda is safe and effective for you.
What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)
Saxenda is a GLP-1 receptor agonist containing the active ingredient liraglutide. 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 lower calorie consumption and weight loss. It is an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, not a standalone solution.
While many patients experience significant weight loss, results vary. Saxenda is a tool to support your weight management journey, not a 'magic bullet'. It helps manage appetite, making dietary changes easier to adhere to. Realistic timelines for noticeable effects usually involve several weeks to months of consistent use.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often improve over time.
It's crucial to be aware of more serious, though rare, side effects such as pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, or severe allergic reactions. You should stop using Saxenda and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea/vomiting, yellowing of skin/eyes, or signs of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of face/throat, difficulty breathing). The doctor will discuss potential side effects during your assessment and provide clear guidance.
