Saxenda® (liraglutide) is an FDA-approved prescription medication designed for long-term weight management.
It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help control appetite, improve satiety, and support gradual, sustainable weight loss.
Originally developed to help regulate blood sugar, Saxenda is now widely prescribed to adults who struggle with obesity or overweight — even if they don’t have diabetes.
🔬 How Does Saxenda Work?
Saxenda mimics the natural GLP-1 hormone, which:
- Signals your brain that you are full
- Slows down digestion so you feel satisfied longer
- Helps control blood sugar levels
This combination reduces daily calorie intake without the constant feeling of hunger.
📋 Who Is Saxenda For?
Saxenda is approved for:
- Adults with a BMI ≥ 30 (obesity)
- Adults with a BMI ≥ 27 and at least one weight-related health condition (such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or prediabetes)
💉 How Is Saxenda Taken?
- Administered once daily via a pre-filled injection pen
- Injected under the skin (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm)
- Dosage is gradually increased over several weeks to reduce side effects
