Saxenda is a daily injection indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet, and increased physical activity, for weight management in adult patients
Saxenda contains the drug Liraglutide which is a medicine that falls into the Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist class of drugs.
GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone in the body that is released in response to food intake and acts as a physiological regulator of appetite. Saxenda is 97% similar to naturally occurring GLP-1.
Saxenda works in the hypothalamus, where it interacts with specific neurons involved in the regulation of appetite and food intake. Liraglutide sits on this receptor and causes changes to very important hormones involved in regulating body weight: insulin, leptin, and glucagon.
The effect of this medicine is thought to affect weight loss by the following mechanisms:
- Reduces Leptin Resistance
- Improves Insulin Sensitivity
- Acts as a Glucagon Suppressant
- Reduces Appetite
- Increases Metabolism
Saxenda increases feelings of satiety feeling full) and decreases hunger. As a result of its mechanism of action, patients taking Saxenda feel satisfied and eat less food, leading to weight loss.
Liraglutide was originally developed to treat type II diabetes because it can help reduce insulin resistance but was soon found to have a dramatic effect on weight.
Many studies have shown that patients using Saxenda lose significant amounts of weight over several weeks (usually around 10% body fat).
In a clinical study of people taking Saxenda for 3 years:
- 56% achieved significant weight loss at year 1, and
- Approximately half of these patients maintained weight loss at 3 years when taking Saxenda added to a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity, compared with people not on the drug.
Reducing your waistline isn’t the only impact of weight loss. Taking off weight and keeping it off may help improve conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.
Always use this medicine exactly as your prescriber has told you. Check with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are not sure.
