Who qualifies for Saxenda

When you seek a Saxenda prescription online, the doctor assesses your eligibility based on established medical guidelines. Generally, 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 will review your full medical history for contraindications and ensure Saxenda is safe and appropriate for your health profile.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and food intake, leading to a feeling of fullness and reduced hunger. This can help 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. Realistic weight loss expectations are crucial; significant results typically unfold over several months, not weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment. These often improve over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. Your doctor will discuss these risks with you. It is crucial to inform your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms. If side effects become intolerable or if you don't achieve a certain percentage of weight loss after a few weeks, your doctor may recommend discontinuing treatment.
