Saxenda Inj 6mg/ml (3ml)

Benefits:

• Promotes weight loss: Saxenda is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that works by mimicking the effects of the GLP-1 hormone in the gut. This hormone helps to regulate appetite and food intake, leading to decreased calorie consumption and weight loss.
• Improves blood sugar control: In addition to weight loss, Saxenda can also improve blood sugar control in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This is likely due to its ability to promote insulin production and decrease glucagon secretion.
• Reduces cardiovascular risk factors: Saxenda may also help to reduce cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. This is thought to be due to its weight loss and blood sugar control effects.

Ingredients:

• The active ingredient in Saxenda is liraglutide, a synthetic analogue of human GLP-1.
• Each pre-filled pen contains 18 mg of liraglutide in 3 ml of solution.
• Other inactive ingredients include: sodium phosphate dibasic, sodium phosphate monobasic, propylene glycol, water for injection, and hydrochloric acid/sodium hydroxide (to adjust pH).

Dosage:

Saxenda is available as a pre-filled pen for injection. The starting dose is 0.6 mg, injected once daily under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. The dosage can be gradually increased up to a maximum of 3.0 mg per day, based on individual response and tolerability.
