Saxenda R6 mg/ml solution for injection in pre-filled pen - liraglutide
When combined with a lower-calorie diet and regular exercise, the weight-loss medication Saxenda can assist individuals in losing weight. Saxenda weight loss injections might be the solution for you if you are struggling to lose weight and keep it off and your BMI is 30 or higher. Because they make you feel fuller, you may eat less and consume fewer calories, which can help you lose weight and possibly keep it off.
Saxenda's producer intends to phase out the medication in the future and will suggest Wegovy to patients in its place. Patients who are trying to lose weight can benefit from Wegovy in a number of ways, such as just having to inject once a week and experiencing a greater average weight loss during treatment. You might want to think about if Wegovy is the greatest option for you in the long run if you are thinking about starting a medical weight loss program.

How liraglutide works: Liraglutide, the active component of Saxenda, is a drug that functions similarly to the hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) that is naturally present in your body. Following a meal, your digestive tract produces the hormone GLP-1, which helps control hunger and signals your body when you're full. Liraglutide works similarly to GLP-1 in reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, which may help you consume less calories and lose weight. This treatment can help you lose weight and keep it off when combined with regular exercise and a low-calorie diet.
