Who qualifies for Saxenda

When considering your case for Saxenda, our EU-licensed doctors look at specific criteria to ensure the medication is safe and effective for you. Saxenda (liraglutide) is typically prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of:

• 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity).
• 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 also assess your full medical history, current medications, and any contraindications to ensure Saxenda is the right choice. This includes reviewing conditions like thyroid cancer (personal or family history), pancreatitis, severe kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone called GLP-1, which helps regulate appetite and food intake. This leads to a feeling of fullness, reduced hunger, and ultimately, lower calorie consumption and weight loss.

It's important to understand that Saxenda is not a magic bullet. It is most effective when used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Weight loss is gradual, and results vary between individuals. Expect to see initial changes over weeks, with more significant results typically emerging over several months of consistent use.

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, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often improve over time as your body adjusts.

Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and allergic reactions. You should stop using Saxenda and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or signs of a severe allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing).

Always discuss any concerns with your doctor, and never adjust your dosage without medical advice.
