Who qualifies for Saxenda

To qualify for Saxenda, an EU-licensed doctor will assess your medical history and current health status. Typically, 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 looks for specific eligibility criteria and also checks for contraindications, which are conditions that would make Saxenda unsafe for you. This individual review ensures your safety and the treatment's effectiveness.

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 regulates appetite and food intake. This means it can help you feel fuller for longer, reduce hunger, and decrease the amount of food you eat, leading to weight loss. It is an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, not a replacement for them. Realistic timelines for weight loss vary, but studies show significant results when used consistently alongside lifestyle changes. Saxenda is not a magic bullet; it supports your weight management journey but requires your active participation in diet and exercise.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and headache, particularly when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often improve over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can occur, such as pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. Your doctor will provide full details on potential side effects and instruct you on when to seek medical attention or discontinue the medication. Always follow your doctor's advice and report any concerning symptoms promptly.
