How does Saxenda work?
Saxenda contains the active ingredient called liraglutide, which is a type of hormone known as peptide-1 (GLP-1), which can regulate appetite and control hunger. When injected, Saxenda will cause the GLP-1 to be released from the gut, resulting in a feeling of fullness after eating less food. Additionally, when it binds to receptors such as those in the pancreas and brain, it can reduce glucose levels and slow digestion. With regular use as directed by your doctor or healthcare provider, Saxenda can significantly improve body mass index over time.
How effective is Saxenda?
Saxenda is very effective in helping to reduce weight. Studies have shown decreased body mass percentage and increased energy levels when the drug is administered correctly over a long period. Moreover, the drug allows individuals to control their hunger and cravings more effectively, requiring less frequent dietary modifications. As with any medication, however, patients should always consult with their healthcare providers to ensure they receive appropriate doses and monitor any possible side effects.
How long does one Saxenda Injection last?
The treatment starts with a low dose which will gradually increase over the first five weeks of treatment. The usual starting dose is 0.6mg once a day for at least a week.
Therefore your injections will last as follows:
First pen will last 17 days; second pen will last 8.5 days; third pen will last you 6.5 days, and each subsequent pen should last 6 days thereafter.
Directions
What dose of Saxenda do I take?
The recommended starting dose of Saxenda is 0.6 mg once daily, and you should take it as your doctor prescribes. Your doctor may adjust your dosage at regular intervals of usually 1 week until a maximum dosage of 3mg once a day is reached. You shouldn't take doses higher than 3 mg unless prescribed by your doctor.
How to use Saxenda?
The recommended dosage of Saxenda Injection is usually 1 injection per day, which is best done in the evening when taken at least 30 minutes before meals. It is best injected in areas where there is fat like the stomach (5 cm away from the belly button), front thigh, or upper arm.
