What is Saxenda?
Saxenda is an injectable medicine for adults with excess weight or obesity of BMI more than 27, and children aged 12 to 17 years old with body weight above 60 kg. The procedure is most effective with a reduction in calorie diet and increased physical activity.
How It Works
Your body produces an appetite hormone known as glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1) which helps to regulate your hunger; Saxenda works like GLP-1, it regulates your appetite and leads to eating fewer calories, or in simpler words it prevents overeating.
The injection should be done at the stomach area (abdomen), upper leg (thigh), or upper arm as instructed by our affiliated clinic where there is no vein or muscle involved. The first dose will be done at the clinic with the guidance given; subsequent injections will be done by yourself at home.
Procedure for Saxenda
1. Consultation and examination of body weight
2. Blood will be collected for testings before the prescription
3. Injection of Saxenda (the first injection would be done with instructions, subsequent injections will be self-injection at home)
