About This Treatment

Saxenda contains liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It helps regulate appetite by acting on receptors in the brain that control hunger and food intake. Saxenda is administered as a once-daily injection using a pre-filled pen device.

Our doctors will first evaluate if Saxenda is suitable based on your health profile, weight history, and medical background. If prescribed, usage instructions and follow-ups will be provided to monitor progress and ensure safety.
