Who qualifies for Saxenda

Doctors look for specific criteria to determine if Saxenda is a suitable treatment. Typically, you qualify if you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² to less than 30 kg/m² (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or dyslipidemia. The doctor will assess your full medical history to ensure there are no contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or severe heart failure.

What Saxenda actually does (and doesn't do)

Saxenda, containing the active ingredient liraglutide, is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It works by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and food intake. This leads to a feeling of fullness, which can reduce your calorie consumption and support weight loss. It does not promise instant results; significant effects are typically observed over several weeks or months when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Saxenda is a tool to aid weight management, not a standalone solution, and it does not guarantee specific weight loss outcomes without lifestyle changes.

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. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions and be aware of any red flags. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of an allergic reaction, you should stop the medication and seek immediate medical attention.
