Description
Saxenda (liraglutide) injection 3 mg is an injectable prescription medicine that may help some adults with excess weight, BMI 27 kg/m2 or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition (e.g. hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or dyslipidemia). Saxenda should be used with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity.
A more significant number of people who took Saxenda for 56 weeks lost 5 to 10% of their body weight compared with those who received a placebo. (Placebos are substances that have no effect and are used as controls when testing medications). In other words, participants lost between 12 and 23 pounds. Before taking Saxenda, participants were overweight (BMI 27-29.9 kg/m2) or obese (BMI greater than 30 kg/m2).
Tell your healthcare provider about any medications you take, including prescriptions, over the counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Saxenda slows stomach emptying and can affect medicines that need to pass through the stomach quickly. Saxenda is not known to be safe or effective in children under 12 years old. Saxenda is not known to be safe or effective in children with type 2 diabetes aged 12 to 17 years. Pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with a body weight above 60 kg and/or initial BMI corresponding to 30 kg/m2 for adults (obese) by international cut-offs, may be prescribed liraglutide.
Saxenda slows stomach emptying and may affect the way some medications work and some other medicines may affect the way this medication works.
Saxenda is not for the treatment of type 2 diabetes nor should be combined with insulin. There is no specific diet with Saxenda but it would be beneficial to understand the foods to avoid.
