Who qualifies for Saxenda

When reviewing your case for Saxenda, the doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure safe and effective treatment. Generally, Saxenda is prescribed to 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 prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, will also be considered. It's crucial to provide accurate information in your medical questionnaire for a thorough assessment.

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 can lead to feeling fuller for longer, reducing hunger, and consequently, consuming fewer calories. While Saxenda can be an effective tool for weight management, it is most effective when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It doesn't offer instant results; weight loss typically occurs gradually over weeks and months.

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 starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's important to be aware of these. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms, you should stop taking Saxenda and seek medical attention immediately. Your doctor will discuss potential side effects and monitor your progress.
