FAQs
Saxenda® is the name brand for liraglutide, which is a prescription weight loss injection that belongs to a group of medications called GLP-1 agonists, meaning it works by copying a natural hormone in your body. The GLP-1 hormone in your body is responsible for regulating your appetite and enhancing your metabolism, and Saxenda optimized these functions. It helps you feel full sooner and curbs hunger pangs so you eat less and lose weight.
Saxenda can be used by adults who are at least 18 years old who:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher or
- Have a body mass index (BMI), 27 or higher and at least one weight-related health issue like hypertension, type 2 diabetes, etc.
- Have tried diet and exercise alone but were not able to achieve sustainable weight loss and need additional help through medical intervention.
Saxenda may not be a good choice for everyone, such as people with a history of thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, or severe gastrointestinal issues. Dr. Simmons can help determine if Saxenda is the right choice for you.
Saxenda is used to help adults with a high or unhealthy BMI or those who may be suffering from weight-related health conditions to lose weight and improve their health.
Saxenda mimics a hormone called GLP-1 that your body naturally produces and releases when you eat. It helps regulate your appetite, control cravings, and make you feel full sooner to reduce your calorie intake and promote weight loss.
Saxenda is administered in a once-daily injection using a special pre-filled injector pen. It is injected under the skin, in an area with fatty tissue like the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Many people begin noticing changes in their appetite in just a few weeks, but results can vary because everyone’s body can react differently to the medication. Significant weight loss can occur but normally takes several months but will require consistent use and significant lifestyle changes, including eating a healthy, low-calorie diet and an increase in physical activity.
Yes, Saxenda can create side effects just like any other type of medication. Most of these side effects are mild and will improve as your body becomes accustomed to the medication. Some common side effects may include:
- Nausea;
- Vomiting;
- Diarrhea;
- Constipation;
- Stomach discomfort.
