Who qualifies for Saxenda

When you seek a Saxenda prescription online, the doctor assesses your eligibility based on specific medical criteria. Saxenda (liraglutide), 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 dysglycaemia (pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus), hypertension, dyslipidaemia, or obstructive sleep apnoea. The doctor will review your full medical history to ensure Saxenda is safe and appropriate, considering any contraindications like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a history of pancreatitis.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and food intake. It can lead to a feeling of fullness, reduced hunger, and slower stomach emptying, which helps you eat less and lose weight. It's important to understand that Saxenda is a tool to support weight management, not a magic bullet. It is most effective when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Weight loss is gradual and varies between individuals, typically over several months. It does not replace healthy lifestyle changes but enhances their effectiveness.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation, especially when first starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of a severe allergic reaction. Your Hi-Doctor will advise you on when to stop treatment if side effects become unmanageable or if the medication is no longer appropriate for your health.
