Saxenda can be prescribed together with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for people who are overweight or obese to produce weight loss.
Saxenda (generic name: liraglutide) is an injectable prescription medicine often used in tandem with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to produce weight loss. Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 receptor agonist). GLP-1RA works to increase insulin release from the pancreas, which regulates the appetite, leading to eating fewer calories. It is also included in the drug Victoza for diabetes. Saxenda can be prescribed for adults who are classified as overweight (BMI between 27 and 30), who also have weight-related medical problems, or as obese (BMI of 30 and above). It can also be prescribed for children between the ages of 12 and 17 with a body weight above 132 pounds (60 kg) classified as obese (BMI = 30 and above).
Dosage and instructions
Saxenda comes in a prefilled self-inject pen. Needles are not included in the package and must be acquired separately. It is recommended to use 6mm depth needles. It can be taken at any convenient time, with or without food, but there should be at least 12 hours between doses. It is recommended to set a routine of injecting at the same time each day. Saxenda should be injected under the skin in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Avoid injecting into a vein or muscle. Don’t inject at the same place each day, but instead rotate between several sites. Doctors will prescribe the exact dosage schedule for individual patients. Usually, the patient will be instructed to start on the minimum daily dose (0.6mg), scaling up weekly to the full dose (3.0 mg) after four weeks.
