Who qualifies for Saxenda

When reviewing your case for Saxenda, the doctor looks for specific criteria. Saxenda (liraglutide) is typically prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of:

• 30 kg/m² or greater (obese)
• 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or dyslipidemia.

The doctor will also consider your medical history, current medications, and any contraindications. It's crucial to provide accurate information in your questionnaire to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite, helping you feel fuller and less hungry. This can lead to reduced food intake and, consequently, weight loss.

It's important to understand that Saxenda is not a magic bullet. It's an aid to weight management and is most effective when used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic expectations are key; weight loss varies among individuals, and it's a gradual process.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These usually lessen over time as your body adjusts.

You should contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any signs of a severe allergic reaction. The doctor will provide detailed information on side effects and when to seek medical attention. If side effects become unmanageable or if the treatment is not yielding expected results, the doctor may advise discontinuing Saxenda.
