What is Saxenda?
Saxenda is a medicine prescribed by doctors to help people who need to lose weight. It uses the active ingredient, liraglutide. It’s typically self-administered once a day by injection just below the skin (subcutaneous injection). Recommended injection sites include the upper arm, front of the thigh, or the top of the waist. If you’re prescribed this medicine, you’ll be given detailed guidance on how, where, and when to use your Saxenda injection pen.
Who can use it?
Saxenda is typically considered for adults classed as obese (having a BMI of 35+) who are struggling to lose weight, have non-diabetic hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar), and are at high risk of obesity-related health conditions like a heart attack or stroke. Your doctor may also prescribe Saxenda if your BMI is 32.5 or higher and your ethnic origin is Chinese, south Asian, black African, or African Caribbean.
Who can't use it?
Saxenda isn’t suitable if you:
-
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
-
Have an allergy to liraglutide or any of the other ingredients found in Saxenda
-
Live with a liver or kidney condition
Make your doctor aware of any existing health conditions so they can ensure Saxenda is suitable for you to take. They’ll also need to know what other medicines you’re currently taking.
