Drug Information

About Saxenda (Liraglutide)

What is Saxenda (Liraglutide) ? 

Saxenda (Liraglutide) is a prescription medication that is classified as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.

Uses

It is used as an adjunct for chronic weight management. It is implemented after establishing a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity in patients with a BMI of 30 or greater or in patients with a BMI of 27 and one weight-related comorbidity.

How does it work?

It binds to and activates the GLP-1 receptor but unlike native GLP-1, it is stable against degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) and can exert its glucose-lowering effects longer. It also regulates appetite and thus, caloric intake which contributes to weight loss.
