Saxenda is a prescription-only medication used to support weight loss and long-term weight management. Administered as a once-daily injection, it contains the active ingredient liraglutide. Saxenda works by mimicking natural gut hormones to regulate appetite. This helps control hunger, lowers food cravings, and increases feelings of fullness after eating, making it easier to stick to a calorie-controlled lifestyle plan.
Saxenda is a prescription-only injection designed to support weight loss and long-term weight management in adults. It contains the active ingredient liraglutide, which mimics GLP-1—a naturally occurring hormone in the body that regulates appetite and food intake.
Rather than a quick fix, Saxenda is a supportive medical tool for individuals who struggle to lose weight through diet and exercise alone. It must be prescribed following a comprehensive clinical assessment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your health history.
Frequency: A self-administered injection taken once daily at the same time each day.
Dosing: Increased gradually over several weeks to help minimise potential side effects.
Approach: Must be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Monitoring: Requires ongoing medical supervision to track your progress and manage side effects.
Saxenda is prescribed to help adults manage their weight when lifestyle changes alone have not been enough. It is generally indicated for:
Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (obesity).
Adults with a BMI of 27 or higher (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol (dyslipidaemia).
By helping you maintain a consistent calorie deficit, Saxenda can support significant health improvements beyond just weight reduction, including:
Better control over blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
Enhanced daily mobility, sleep quality, and overall energy.
Reduced persistent hunger, making it easier to control portion sizes and curb frequent snacking.
The active ingredient, liraglutide, replicates the gut hormones that signal fullness to the brain. Saxenda works through three primary mechanisms:
Brain Signalling: It acts directly on the appetite centres in the brain to reduce overall hunger.
Delayed Digestion: It slows down gastric emptying (how fast food leaves your stomach), keeping you feeling satisfied for longer after meals.
Habit Modification: By increasing satiety, it gives you better control over snacking and portion sizes.
