Description
What is Saxenda?
Saxenda (liraglutide) is a once-daily injectable medication designed to support weight management in individuals with obesity or those who are overweight with weight-related health concerns. It works by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, helping you eat less and lose weight more effectively.
It is a part of a class of medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help regulate appetite and energy intake. Unlike standard weight loss methods, Saxenda works by addressing the factors that contribute to overeating and weight gain, making it an effective option for those who have found diet and exercise alone to be insufficient.
How does Saxenda work?
Saxenda contains Liraglutide, which mimics the body’s natural appetite-controlling hormone. It works by:
- Reducing appetite
- Saxenda acts on areas of the brain that regulate hunger, helping to suppress cravings and reduce the urge to eat between meals.
- Slows digestion
- It slows down the rate at which food leaves your stomach, which helps keep you feeling full for longer after eating.
- Feelings of fullness
Saxenda enhances the body’s natural signals of fullness, so you are more likely to stop eating when satisfied.Together, these effects help you eat fewer calories, stay satisfied longer, and build healthier eating habits over time. Saxenda helps patients lose 5-10% body weight when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and physical activity.How effective is Saxenda for weight loss?
Clinical SCALE trials demonstrate that, over 56 weeks, Saxenda achieves an average 8% weight loss versus 2.6% for placebo. Most patients experience measurable reductions within 12 weeks, and ongoing use helps maintain results when combined with lifestyle changes.
Saxenda has been extensively studied in the SCALE clinical trial program. Results consistently showed that:
- Average weight loss was 8% of initial body weight after 56 weeks when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise.
- This compares to just 2.6% weight loss with placebo under the same lifestyle conditions.
- Many participants lost 5–10% or more of their initial weight.
- Improvements were also seen in blood sugar control, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
Most users begin to see noticeable weight loss within 12 weeks of starting Saxenda. For those who respond well, ongoing use helps maintain and build on early results, especially when paired with continued lifestyle changes.
