FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS SAXENDA?

Saxenda is a prescription medication that can be used to help certain adults with excess weight or obesity manage their weight in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It contains the active ingredient liraglutide, which is a type of medicine called a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM SAXENDA?

It is specifically approved for use in individuals who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher or those with a BMI of 27 or above who have at least one weight-related medical condition, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

HOW IS SAXENDA ADMINISTERED?
