How it works: get your Saxenda prescription in 4 steps

Who qualifies for Saxenda
Doctors prescribe Saxenda (liraglutide) as a weight management tool for adults who meet specific criteria. Generally, to qualify, you must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² to <30 kg/m² (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will assess your full medical history, current medications, and any contraindications (e.g., personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, pancreatitis, severe heart failure, kidney disease, or liver disease) to ensure Saxenda is safe and appropriate for you.
What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)
Saxenda is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite. It helps you feel fuller sooner, reduces hunger, and can lead to a decrease in food intake, ultimately supporting weight loss. It is an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, not a standalone solution. While many patients experience significant weight loss, results vary. It’s important to have realistic expectations; Saxenda supports your efforts but doesn't magically melt away pounds.

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 starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time. More serious but rare side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. It’s crucial to discuss any concerning symptoms with your doctor. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention. Your doctor will advise you on when to stop Saxenda, typically if you haven't achieved a 5% body weight reduction after 12 weeks on the full dose.
