Who qualifies for Saxenda

When you seek a Saxenda prescription online, the doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure safe and effective treatment. Saxenda (liraglutide) 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) who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), severe heart failure, or pancreatitis. Your comprehensive medical questionnaire helps the doctor determine if Saxenda is the right choice for your health profile.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a natural gut hormone, liraglutide, which helps regulate appetite and food intake. It works by making you feel fuller sooner and for longer, which can lead to reduced calorie intake and, over time, weight loss. It also slows down gastric emptying. Realistic timelines show that weight loss with Saxenda is gradual; clinical trials indicate an average weight loss of about 8% of body weight over 56 weeks when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Saxenda is a tool to support your weight management journey, not a 'magic bullet'. It requires consistent daily use and commitment to lifestyle changes to achieve and maintain results.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. These are usually mild to moderate and often decrease over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Other common side effects include headache and injection site reactions. It is crucial to inform your doctor if you experience severe or persistent side effects. Red flags that warrant immediate medical attention include severe abdominal pain (which could indicate pancreatitis), changes in vision, or symptoms of dehydration. Your doctor will advise you on when to stop treatment if side effects are unmanageable or if the medication is not producing the desired results after a certain period.
