Who qualifies for Saxenda

Saxenda, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, is typically 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) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor assesses your medical history, current health status, and any contraindications during the online consultation to ensure Saxenda is safe and effective for you.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite, helping you feel fuller and less hungry. This can lead to reduced calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It's important to understand that Saxenda is a tool to support weight management, not a standalone solution. It works best when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic expectations are key; weight loss is gradual and varies between individuals. Saxenda does not offer instant results or a 'magic bullet' for weight loss.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of Saxenda include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment. These often lessen over time. More serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. Your doctor will discuss all potential risks. You should stop Saxenda and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of an allergic reaction. The doctor will monitor your progress and advise on treatment duration.
