Saxenda (liraglutide) is a prescription-only, once-daily injection approved in the UK to aid weight loss and sustainability when combined with dietary changes and increased physical activity. Suitable for adults with obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) or overweight (BMI 27–30 kg/m²) with at least one weight-related health concern. The active ingredient mimics the GLP-1 hormone to reduce appetite and slow gastric emptying. Treatment begins with a gradual dose escalation over five weeks, reaching the 3.0 mg maintenance dose. Dosing and administration should follow guidance from a qualified UK prescriber.

Warnings

Prescription requirement: Only available via a qualified UK prescriber and dispensed through a GPhC-registered pharmacy. Avoid obtaining from unauthorised online sources due to risk of fake or unsafe products.
Counterfeit risk: The MHRA has warned about falsified Saxenda pens, some found to contain insulin—not liraglutide—and linked to serious adverse events including hypoglycaemic shock and coma.
Contraindications: Not recommended for patients with known hypersensitivity to liraglutide or any excipients; those with MTC or MEN 2; severe renal impairment (CrCl < 30 ml/min); end-stage renal disease; or severe hepatic impairment. Use with caution or avoid in patients ≥ 75 years, inflammatory bowel disease, gastroparesis, or congestive heart failure NYHA Class IV.
Serious risks:
- Pancreatitis: Discontinue if suspected.
- Gallbladder issues: Weight loss may increase risk of cholelithiasis or cholecystitis; inform patients of symptoms.
- Thyroid tumours: Preclinical studies (in rodents) noted thyroid tumours; avoid in those with personal or family history of MTC or MEN 2.
Other precautions: Monitor for signs of dehydration due to GI side-effects; monitor heart rate during treatment; adjust doses of insulin or sulfonylureas if co-administered to reduce hypoglycaemia risk.
Administration: Subcutaneous injection only (abdomen, thigh, upper arm), rotate sites, once daily at any time, independently of meals.
