WHAT SAXENDA
IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT SAXENDA IS
Saxenda is a weight loss medicine that contains the active substance
liraglutide. It is similar to a
natural occurring hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that
is released from the intestine
after a meal. Saxenda works by acting on receptors in the brain that
control your appetite, causing you
to feel fuller and less hungry. This may help you eat less food and
reduce your body weight.
WHAT SAXENDA IS USED FOR
Saxenda is used for weight loss in addition to diet and exercise in
adults aged 18 and above who have
•
a BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity) or
•
a BMI of 27 kg/m² and less than 30 kg/m² (overweight) and
weight-related health problems
(such as diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal levels of fats in the
blood or breathing
problems during sleep called ‘obstructive sleep apnoea’).
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of your weight in relation to your
height.
You should only continue using Saxenda if you have lost at least 5% of
your initial body weight after
12 weeks on the 3.0 mg/day dose (see section 3). Cons
