How it works — get your Saxenda prescription in 4 steps

3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours. This is Spain's official digital-private-prescription standard.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in Florence or the EU to collect your Saxenda.

Who qualifies for Saxenda

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each patient individually to determine if Saxenda is a suitable treatment. Generally, doctors look for patients who meet specific criteria, often including a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. Saxenda is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes diet and exercise. Contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or pregnancy/breastfeeding, will be carefully considered by the doctor.

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 helps regulate appetite and food intake. This means it can help you feel fuller, reduce hunger, and eat less, leading to weight loss. It's important to understand that Saxenda is not a magic bullet; it's a tool to support your weight loss journey when combined with lifestyle changes. Realistic timelines for significant weight loss usually involve several months of consistent use, alongside dietary adjustments and increased physical activity. It won't produce instant, dramatic results, and continued adherence to a healthy lifestyle is crucial for maintaining weight loss.

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, though rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's crucial to be aware of these and to contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin/eyes. Your Hi-Doctor will provide detailed information, and you should always follow their guidance on when to adjust your dose or discontinue treatment.
