Saxenda is a weight loss injection pen that can help adults and children who are over weight or obese.
This injection may be suitable for you if:
Whilst using Saxenda you will need to consume a reduced-calorie diet and increase your physical activity to maximise results.
What is the Active ingredient in Saxenda and how does the injection work?
Saxenda contains the active ingredient liraglutide which is very similar to a naturally occurring hormone in your body called GLP-1. This injection makes you feel less hungry, slows down the emptying of your stomach and makes you feel 'fuller' for longer. It works by stimulating insulin release and inhibiting glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying and increases satiety after eating.
Wegovy (Semaglutide) is a licensed weight loss treatment also now available in the UK, which works in the same way although it is a different hormone.
The common amount of time for the use of Saxenda is a few months and results are usually noticeable after a few weeks of use.
