Who qualifies for Saxenda

Doctors prescribing Saxenda look for specific criteria to ensure it's safe and effective for you. Generally, Saxenda (liraglutide) is approved for weight management in adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater (obese), or a BMI of 27 or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. Contraindications may include a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or pancreatitis. Your EU-licensed doctor will carefully 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 that mimics a natural hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This hormone helps regulate appetite and food intake. By activating GLP-1 receptors, Saxenda helps you feel fuller sooner, reduces hunger, and can lead to a reduction in calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss. It is designed to be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Saxenda is not a 'miracle cure' for weight loss, and results vary. It requires consistent use as prescribed and a commitment to lifestyle changes for the best outcomes. It does not replace the need for healthy habits.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Saxenda can cause side effects. Common side effects often include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, and low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). These are usually mild to moderate and tend to decrease over time as your body adjusts to the medication. More serious, but rare, side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. It is crucial to read the patient information leaflet provided with your medication. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or any other concerning symptoms, contact a healthcare professional immediately. Your Hi-Doctor will provide guidance on when to stop or adjust your treatment if necessary.
