Is Saxenda FDA Approved?

Saxenda is a highly effective weight-loss remedial drug approved by the FDA for adults. Additionally, it is now approved for adolescents aged 12 and older who are obese. This is defined by age- and sex-specific BMI cut-offs corresponding to a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or higher for adults. Adolescents must also weigh more than 60 kg (132 pounds). It is particularly beneficial for those with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or greater who have weight-related medical conditions.

Key Benefits of Saxenda

Saxenda offers numerous benefits for weight management, including:
  • Significant weight loss and maintenance
  • Improved regulation of appetite
  • Optimal insulin secretion and blood sugar control
  • Pre-filled pens for easy and accurate use

How Saxenda Works

Saxenda mimics the action of GLP-1, targeting areas of the brain that regulate appetite and food intake. By activating GLP-1 receptors, Saxenda helps increase insulin secretion and reduce glucagon production. It also slows gastric emptying, leading to a reduced appetite through a feeling of fullness. This effect helps patients achieve significant weight loss and better control their blood sugar levels. Maintaining a low-calorie diet and a good amount of physical activity is necessary.

How to Use Saxenda?

  • Administration: Saxenda is administered using a pre-filled pen. It works as a subcutaneous injection.
  • Injection Sites: You have to inject Saxenda into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotating the injection helps avoid any irritation.
  • Injection Timing: Saxenda can be taken at any time, with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day.
  • Consistency: You will get optimal results if you follow your doctor's prescription and use the medication consistently. However, you must avoid injecting insulin and Saxenda together at the same site.

What are the dosages of Saxenda?

  • Starting Dose: The typical starting dose is 0.6 mg injected once daily for the first week.
  • Incremental Increase: The dose is increased weekly until the target dose of 3.0 mg daily is reached.
  • Common Dosages: 0.6 mg, 1.2 mg, 1.8 mg, 2.4 mg, and 3.0 mg.
