What is Saxenda?
Saxenda\u00ae (liraglutide) is an FDA-approved prescription medication for chronic weight management. It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking a hormone that targets areas of the brain involved in appetite regulation, helping you feel full sooner and eat less.
How does Saxenda work?
Saxenda works by mimicking GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that regulates appetite. It slows gastric emptying and signals the brain to reduce hunger, making it easier to eat less and lose weight. Saxenda is administered as a daily injection.
How do you take Saxenda?
Saxenda is self-administered as a once-daily injection under the skin (subcutaneously) in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Your provider will guide you through a dose escalation schedule, starting at a lower dose and gradually increasing over 5 weeks.
