What is Saxenda?
Saxenda (liraglutide 3mg) was the first GLP-1 receptor agonist specifically FDA-approved for weight loss. Made by Novo Nordisk, it uses the same active ingredient as Victoza but at a higher dose (3mg vs 1.8mg) optimized for weight management.
Saxenda requires a 5-week dose escalation: 0.6mg → 1.2mg → 1.8mg → 2.4mg → 3mg daily. Clinical trials showed average weight loss of 5-10% of body weight. While newer medications like Wegovy produce more weight loss, Saxenda remains a proven option for obesity treatment.
FAQ
How is Saxenda different from Wegovy?
Both are GLP-1 weight loss medications. Saxenda (liraglutide 3mg) is daily while Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4mg) is weekly. Wegovy produces more weight loss (~15% vs ~8%) but Saxenda has a longer track record.
What is the Saxenda dose schedule?
Saxenda starts at 0.6mg and increases weekly: 0.6mg → 1.2mg → 1.8mg → 2.4mg → 3mg. This 5-week escalation minimizes nausea.
Do I need to inject Saxenda daily?
Yes, unlike newer weekly GLP-1s, Saxenda requires daily injections. Shotlee sends daily reminders to help you stay consistent.
