Saxenda®

Saxenda is the brand-name version of liraglutide, an FDA-approved GLP-1 receptor agonist for weight loss. It works by mimicking a hormone that slows digestion and reduces appetite, helping you feel less hungry. Studies show that people using Saxenda lost an average of 9% of their body weight in one year. Saxenda helps with weight loss by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone to reduce appetite and slow food movement through the stomach. This helps you feel fuller longer, leading to reduced food intake. Combined with healthy eating and regular exercise, it supports long-term weight goals.

Your treatment will arrive with personalized instructions and a complete guide on how to use it. Most users start low and gradually increase their dose to help the body adjust. It requires a daily injection, using a tiny needle, most say they barely feel it. Together with your assigned doctor from &you, you’ll decide the most effective maintenance dose to help you safely reach your weight goals.

Some patients begin to notice changes within the first few weeks, while more meaningful weight loss typically develops over 8 to 12 weeks as the dose is gradually increased. In clinical studies, patients using Saxenda® achieved an average weight loss of 5 to 10% over one year when combined with diet and lifestyle changes. In 56-week clinical trials involving adults without diabetes and with a BMI ≥30, or BMI ≥27 with a weight-related condition, patients treated with Saxenda® experienced significantly greater weight loss compared to those using lifestyle changes alone. A majority of patients who continued treatment were able to maintain their results beyond one year.* *Results are based on clinical trials of Saxenda® (liraglutide 3.0 mg) used alongside reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Individual results may vary.
