Who qualifies for Saxenda

When considering Saxenda, doctors look for specific criteria. Generally, 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 type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will review your full medical history to ensure Saxenda is safe and appropriate for you, checking for contraindications like a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda, with its active ingredient liraglutide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. This helps you feel fuller, reduces hunger, and can lead to a decrease in calorie intake and weight loss. It's important to understand that Saxenda is a tool to support weight management, not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Realistic expectations are key; sustainable weight loss typically occurs gradually over several weeks and months.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common initial side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation. These are often mild and tend to improve over time as your body adjusts to the medication. Less common but more serious side effects can occur. You should stop taking Saxenda and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing), or symptoms of gallbladder problems. Your prescribing doctor will provide a comprehensive list of potential side effects and guide you on when to seek medical advice.
