What is Saxenda?
Saxenda is a prescription-only, once daily weight loss injection, licensed to treat those with obesity (BMI of above 30) or who are overweight (BMI of above 27 with additional weight related comorbidities). You can buy Saxenda online from Betterweight Medical, It contains the medicine liraglutide. It should be used alongside a healthy and balanced diet and exercise to help aid weight loss.
How does Saxenda work?
The active ingredient in Saxenda is Liraglutide, a medication which is similar to a naturally occurring hormone in your body which is called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This is an appetite hormone that helps regulate hunger and is released by the intestines after a meal. Liraglutide helps to reduce your appetite and makes you feel fuller, which may lead to you consuming fewer calories and therefore losing weight. When paired with a low-calorie diet and regular exercise, this treatment can help you to lose weight and keep it off.
How long does each Saxenda pen last?
We recommend following the manufacturers guidelines when starting Saxenda. Each pen contains 18mg and can be dialled to deliver the following doses: 0.6mg, 1.2mg, 1.8mg, 2.4mg and 3.0mg.
The following dosing schedule should be followed:
- Week 1 – 0.6mg each day
- Week 2 – 1.2mg each day
- Week 3 – 1.8mg each day
- Week 4 – 2.4mg each day
- Week 5 and onwards – 3mg each day
If you are taking Saxenda for the first time, then you will require 3 pens for the first month, and that is when you are likely to see any benefit.
After that, and once you have reached the 3.0mg dose, each pen will last for 6 days. At this point you will need a box of 5 pens every 30 days
