\nSaxenda: Weight Loss Injection<\/p>\n

In January of 2017, a new weight loss treatment was quietly approved for use in the UK. Branded under the name Saxenda, this treatment contains the active ingredient liraglutide, and works by making you feel full and satisfied, thereby curbing food cravings.
\nPreviously, liraglutide was only licensed for use as a diabetes treatment. Under the brand name Victoza (and in lower doses) it can be prescribed to people with type 2 diabetes to help them maintain a healthy blood sugar level. When it was discovered that patients were losing weight as a result of taking Victoza, researchers began to explore the potential of liraglutide as a safe weight loss treatment.<\/p>\n

It contains the active ingredient liraglutide which is very similar to a naturally occurring hormone in your body called GLP-1.<\/p>\n

After a meal GLP-1 is naturally released from your intestines to help regulate your blood sugar levels and reduce the amount of glucagon in your body. Glucagon is a naturally occurring hormone which works by inhibiting the action of insulin. As a result, it makes you feel less hungry, slows down the emptying of your stomach and makes you feel ‘fuller’ for longer.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” title=”WHO IS SAXENDA SUITABLE FOR?”][vc_column_text]Saxenda can only be used as a weight-loss treatment if you have previously tried and failed to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.<\/p>\n

You can expect to lose a minimum of 5% of your initial body weight after completing 12 weeks of treatment at 3.0mg liraglutide daily. If you have not lost 5% of your initial body weight after 12 weeks at 3.0mg, then treatment should be discontinued at this stage.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” title=”DOES SAXENDA WEIGHT LOSS INJECTION REALLY WORK?”][vc_column_text]Saxenda has been studied extensively in multiple clinical trials to establish its clinical benefits (4 x phase 3 trials \u2013 SCALE Obesity & Pre-Diabetes, SCALE Diabetes, SCALE Sleep Apnoea and SCALE Maintenance).4<\/p>\n

These trials included a total of 5,358 participants and the trials ran between 56 weeks and 160 weeks. Superior weight loss was achieved with Saxenda (liraglutide) compared to diet and exercise alone in obese and overweight patients in all groups studied. More than twice as many people achieved 5% and 10% body weight loss compared to diet and exercise alone.<\/p>\n

The pen contains a clear and colourless or almost colourless solution. All pens are supplied with the right quantity of needles you require for injecting.You will need to store your Saxenda pre-filled pen in a refrigerator (2\u00b0C to 8\u00b0C) before your first use. Once you start using the pen, you can keep it for 1 month either at room temperature (2 to 30\u00b0C) or in a refrigerator (2\u00b0C to 8\u00b0C). Do not freeze.<\/p>\n

When you take Saxenda you need to gradually increase your dose in 0.6mg intervals, until you reach what is called the maintenance dose at 3mg daily. This is the dose at which you will continue to take Saxenda. You increase your dose as follows:<\/p>\n

Week 1 \u2013 0.6mg as a once-daily injection
\nWeek 2 \u2013 1.2mg as a once-daily injection
\nWeek 3 \u2013 1.8mg as a once-daily injection
\nWeek 4 \u2013 2.4mg as a once-daily injection
\nWeek 5 onwards \u2013 maintenance dose of 3.0mg as a once-daily injection
\nIncreasing the dose slowly over time should minimise any unwanted side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. As you increase your dose, if you find that you cannot tolerate your side effects, you should stay on the same dose for 2 continuous weeks. If after 2 weeks your side effects are still not tolerable, you should consider stopping treatment.<\/p>\n

The maximum recommended daily dosage of liraglutide is 3.0mg. Try to take it at the same time each day, picking a time that works for you, with or without food or drink.<\/p>\n

You must continue with your new diet and exercise regime while you are taking Saxenda.<\/p>\n

Always use Saxenda exactly how your prescriber has told you. Check with your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are unsure.<\/p>\n

When you first start Saxenda, a single pen will last 17 days and the first full pack of five pens will last six weeks. Once you have achieved the maintenance dose, a pack of five pens will last 30 days.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” title=”WHO CAN NOT USE SAXENDA WEIGHT LOSS INJECTION?”][vc_column_text]\n
