Who qualifies for Saxenda

Doctors look for specific criteria to ensure Saxenda is safe and effective for you. Generally, Saxenda (liraglutide) is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. It's important to note that Saxenda is not suitable for everyone, and contraindications include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), pancreatitis, or severe kidney or liver disease. The doctor will assess your full medical history to determine if Saxenda is appropriate for your health needs.

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, reduce hunger, and potentially eat less. This can lead to gradual weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It's not a magic pill; it supports your weight management efforts. You should expect a steady, sustainable weight loss, typically around 5-10% of your body weight over several months, rather than rapid, dramatic results. Saxenda helps manage appetite, but it doesn't replace the need for healthy lifestyle changes.

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 you first start treatment or increase your dose. These usually lessen over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. It's crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. The doctor will advise you on what to look out for and when to discontinue treatment or seek further medical help.
