Saxenda (liraglutide), manufactured by Novo Nordisk, is a US FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist specifically designed for chronic weight management. It is available as a pre-filled pen injector for once-daily use. Saxenda is the original brand and not a generic alternative.
Unlike many other GLP-1 products originally developed for treating diabetes, Saxenda is specifically optimized for weight loss, making it a popular choice among patients seeking sustainable weight management solutions.
Compared to Wegovy and Ozempic, the weight loss effect is slightly more modest, and requires daily rather than weekly administration. Meanwhile, this is one of the most affordable GLP-1 products manufactured by a global innovator brand.
Dosage: Our doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your conditions – consultation is free with a monthly recurring purchase order. Treatment often starts with a lower dose that gradually increases to a maintenance weekly dosage.
Side effects are usually mild, including nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and mild gastrointestinal discomfort. These side effects are generally transient and lessen as treatment continues. Initiating therapy at a lower dose with gradual escalation can assist in minimizing these adverse effects.
How to Use the Pen:
- Inject any time during the day once a week (for Wegovy and Ozempic) or daily (for Saxenda), in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
