What is Saxenda?

Saxenda (liraglutide) is an injectable prescription medication used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight conditions. It is indicated for use alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to help individuals achieve and maintain weight loss. Saxenda belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, which work by regulating appetite and reducing food intake.

How does Saxenda work?

Saxenda works by mimicking the action of a natural hormone called GLP-1, which is involved in regulating appetite and food intake. By activating GLP-1 receptors in the brain, Saxenda helps to reduce feelings of hunger and increase feelings of fullness, leading to a decrease in calorie consumption and subsequent weight loss.
