Who qualifies for Liraglutide

Liraglutide (Saxenda) is prescribed for chronic weight management in adults. Doctors look for specific criteria to ensure it's safe and effective for you. Generally, you qualify if you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.

Before issuing a Liraglutide prescription, the doctor considers your full medical history. Certain conditions, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2, pancreatitis, or severe kidney disease, are contraindications. Pregnancy or breastfeeding also prevents prescription. The doctor individually assesses your case to determine if Liraglutide is appropriate for you.

What Liraglutide actually does (and doesn't do)

Liraglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. It mimics a natural hormone in your body that regulates appetite and food intake. This means it helps you feel fuller faster and for longer, slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, and can reduce cravings. This leads to a reduction in calorie intake and, combined with diet and exercise, can result in significant weight loss.

While Liraglutide is effective, it is not an instant fix. Weight loss is gradual. Most people see noticeable results over several months. It is a tool to support your weight loss journey, not a replacement for healthy lifestyle changes. It doesn't guarantee a specific amount of weight loss, but clinical studies show it can help people lose an average of 5-10% of their body weight over a year.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Liraglutide has potential side effects. The most common are gastrointestinal, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These are usually mild and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Eating smaller meals and staying hydrated can help manage them.

Less common but more serious side effects include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney issues, and an increased heart rate. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or any other concerning symptoms, stop using Liraglutide and seek immediate medical attention. Your doctor will discuss all potential risks and monitor your progress.
