Saxenda Weight Loss injection

The Saxenda UK Weight Loss Pen

Saxenda Weight Loss Injections are injected under the skin (subcutaneously) and you have the choice of injecting your stomach area (abdomen), upper leg (thigh), or upper arm, as instructed by Webmed Pharmacy.

Do not inject into a vein or muscle.

Saxenda injections for weight loss should be used with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity.

Saxenda weight loss injections are taken over a 5 week period with an escalating  dosage schedule to reach the maximum therapeutic dosage levels to help achieve your maximum weight loss. You then continue on the programme until you reach your goal weight with a healthy BMI.

Saxenda weight loss injections, mimic one of your body's natural responses to control your appetite.

Your body naturally produces an appetite hormone known as glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1) that helps to regulate your hunger

Your body naturally produces an appetite hormone known as glucagon that helps to regulate your hunger.

Saxenda contains the active ingredient Liraglutide that is a glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) agonist that mimics the effect of glucagon. This regulates your appetite and leads to you eating fewer calories that results in you losing weight.

Saxenda should be used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adult patients with an initial body mass index, BMI of 30 (obese) or 27 or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one other chronic health condition (eg, high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol).

Liraglutide weight loss injection

Liraglutide weight loss injection works like GLP-1, by regulating your appetite, which can lead to eating fewer calories and losing weight.

Your body naturally produces an appetite hormone known as glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1) that helps to regulate your hunger.

Liraglutide is 97% similar to GLP-1 and works in the brain to decrease appetite and thereby reduce food intake resulting in weight loss.

Liraglutide (Saxenda), should be used alongside a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adult patients, those who have an initial body mass index, BMI of 30 (obese) or 27 or greater (overweight) in the presence of at least one other chronic health condition (e.g. high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol).
