Who qualifies for Saxenda

Our EU-licensed doctors follow strict guidelines to determine if Saxenda is suitable for you. Generally, they look for adult patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) who also have weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

It's crucial that you provide accurate medical information during your online consultation. Saxenda is not for everyone and certain contraindications exist, including a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or a known allergy to liraglutide.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda contains liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. This means it mimics a natural hormone in your body that helps regulate appetite and food intake. It makes you feel fuller, reduces hunger, and can lead to eating less and losing weight. This is not a 'magic bullet'; it's a tool to support your weight management journey when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. You should expect gradual, realistic weight loss over time, not overnight results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, especially when you first start treatment. These are often mild and temporary. However, if side effects are severe or persistent, you must inform your doctor immediately. Our doctors will guide you on when to adjust your dosage or discontinue treatment. Serious but rare side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. Always follow your doctor's advice and report any concerns via the secure, auditable chat in your Hi-Doctor account.
