Saxenda is a prescription weight loss medication that mimics a natural hormone in your body to help regulate appetite. It works by targeting areas in the brain responsible for hunger, making you feel full longer and reducing calorie intake.

Saxenda is typically prescribed for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher if you have weight-related health conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. Our healthcare team will determine if Saxenda is the right option for you during your consultation.

Saxenda is given as a daily self-administered injection using a pre-filled pen. Our team will provide guidance on how to use the pen properly and safely.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, headache, or vomiting. These are usually mild and tend to improve as your body adjusts to the medication.

Weight loss progress varies from person to person. Many individuals notice a reduction in appetite and gradual weight loss within the first few weeks when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
