Who qualifies for Saxenda

Our EU-licensed doctors look at several factors to determine if Saxenda is appropriate for you. Typically, Saxenda 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 hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. Contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), history of pancreatitis, or severe kidney or liver disease. The doctor reviews your full medical history to ensure Saxenda is safe and effective for your specific situation.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda is a GLP-1 receptor agonist (liraglutide) that works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body. This hormone helps regulate appetite and food intake. Saxenda makes you feel fuller, reduces hunger, and slows down how quickly your stomach empties. This leads to reduced calorie intake and, when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, can result in significant weight loss. It's important to understand that Saxenda is not a 'magic bullet'. It supports your weight loss efforts by helping control your appetite, but consistent lifestyle changes are crucial for long-term success. Realistic timelines often show gradual weight loss over several months, not drastic changes in a few weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common side effects usually occur at the beginning of treatment and may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, or constipation. These are often mild and temporary as your body adjusts to the medication. Less common but more serious side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and increased heart rate. You should stop Saxenda and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, or severe allergic reactions. Always discuss any concerns or persistent side effects with your doctor.
