When prescribed Saxenda, the treatment is administered by injection. This process is straightforward and is easily injected just underneath the skin. Saxenda is advised to be used once a day, preferably at the same time each day. The best place on the body to administer your Saxenda injection is on your stomach (abdomen), the thigh and also the upper arm.
When beginning your Saxenda treatment the initial dose begins at 0.6mg which then increases weekly as you progress on your Saxenda treatment plan. The following video explains in detail how to increase your dose as you progress through the dosing schedule.
Saxenda is injected under the skin (subcutaneous injection). The best places to inject are the front of the waist or the front of the thighs. It is important not to inject into a vein or a muscle. The patient information leaflet contains further information on how to inject Saxenda.
The manufacturers of Saxenda say that 3 out of 5 people taking it achieved significant weight loss of 5% or more (meaning an average of 12lb). Their website contains further information on the benefits of Saxenda.
We constantly compare prices with all UK service providers. We consistently rank amongst the cheapest providers of Saxenda, and will always aim to price match any cheaper service we find.
The duration of treatment should be regularly reviewed by your doctor. It should be stopped if, after 12 weeks on the 3.0mg daily dose, you have not lost at least 5% of your body weight.
It is possible to regain weight after stopping Saxenda.
