Saxenda is a prescription only, once daily injection used to promote weight loss in patients who are either obese, or who are overweight (with a Body Mass Index of 28 or more) and have additional health risk factors. It contains the active ingredient liraglutide, which was originally developed to treat diabetes. Saxenda has been available as a licensed medicine for weight loss since 2014.
This medication works in the same way as natural substance found in the body called GLP-1, which helps to regulate blood sugar after eating. This decreases the production of glucagon, a hormone that opposes insulin and slows down the emptying of the stomach. This in turn lowers hunger and increases feelings of fullness.

Saxenda is administered as a daily injection.
Saxenda can be injected into your stomach area, upper leg or upper arm. Never inject into a vein or muscle. It can be administered at any time of day, independent of meal times.
When starting Saxenda, a single pen can be expected to last 17 days. When starting a new course of Saxenda a pack of 5 pens will last six weeks. Once you are established on Saxenda, we would expect a course of five pens to last you 30 days.
Saxenda has been tested for promotion of weight loss in several clinical trials. The SCALE Obesity and Pre-Diabetes phase 3a trial showed that the 3,731 participants lost an average of 8% of their body weight over a 56 week trial. In evidence presented to The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatic Surgery, the same study showed that 92% of patients lost weight, when 3mg liraglutide was used in conjunction with diet and exercise modifications. We only have 6mg available in stock.
