Who qualifies for Saxenda
Our EU-licensed doctors follow strict guidelines to determine if Saxenda is appropriate for you. Generally, Saxenda (liraglutide) is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² to <30 kg/m² (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will assess your full medical history, including any existing conditions or medications, to ensure Saxenda is safe and suitable for your health needs.
What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)
Saxenda is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that helps regulate appetite and food intake. This can lead to feeling fuller for longer, reducing hunger, and ultimately consuming fewer calories. It's important to understand that Saxenda is a tool to support weight management when combined with diet and exercise, not a standalone solution. It helps you manage your appetite, but it doesn't eliminate the need for healthy lifestyle changes. Results vary, and it's not a 'quick fix' for significant weight loss without effort.
Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common ones 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. Your doctor will discuss potential side effects with you. It's crucial to seek medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms. Always follow your doctor's advice on when to stop or adjust your Saxenda treatment.
