Saxenda® – An effective new weight management solution
For many people, weight-loss and long-term weight management can be a major challenge. That’s where Saxenda can help. Saxenda is a medical weight-loss treatment that can help you to lose weight and to keep it off.
What is Saxenda?
Saxenda (Liraglutide) is an injectable prescription medicine that assists with weight loss. It is designed to be used under medical guidance and in tandem with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.
How does Saxenda work?
When you diet, your body produces a natural ‘hungry’ response which can often lead to dieting failure. Saxenda works by suppressing that appetite response and giving you a feeling of fullness after a smaller food intake. When used alongside an overall weight-loss treatment plan (involving a healthy diet and exercise) it can really boost your weight loss success.
