Description
Saxenda® is a once-daily weight loss injection containing liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It helps adults with obesity or excess weight lose weight by suppressing appetite, controlling cravings, and increasing satiety.
Saxenda works by mimicking a natural hormone that affects areas of the brain regulating appetite, helping patients eat less and lose weight more effectively when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
