Who qualifies for Saxenda

When you seek an online Saxenda prescription, the doctor assesses your eligibility based on established medical guidelines. Typically, Saxenda 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. The doctor will review your medical history for contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe kidney or liver disease. They look for a clear medical need and ensure the treatment is safe for you.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda (liraglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps with weight management by mimicking a natural hormone, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which regulates appetite and food intake. It works by making you feel fuller faster and for longer, leading to reduced calorie consumption. You typically inject it once daily. While many patients experience significant weight loss, it's not an instant fix. It's designed to be used as part of a comprehensive weight management program that includes a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It doesn't replace healthy lifestyle changes, but supports them by helping manage hunger and cravings. Individual results vary, and it takes time to see the full benefits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These often lessen over time. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis or gallbladder problems. The doctor will discuss these with you. It's crucial to stop Saxenda and seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of an allergic reaction. Always follow your doctor's advice on dosage and when to discontinue treatment.
