Saxenda®
Liraglutide · GLP-1 Injection
Daily GLP-1 injection designed specifically for long-term weight management.
Saxenda® (liraglutide 3 mg) is a once-daily injection licensed in the UK for weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or above (or 27+ with a weight-related condition). It works by mimicking GLP-1, a natural hormone that regulates appetite — helping you feel full sooner and stay satisfied for longer. Saxenda is well-suited to patients who prefer a daily routine or who haven’t tolerated weekly injections.
