Saxenda is a once-daily GLP-1 analogue that imitates your natural satiety hormone. By calming hunger signals, lowering cravings and resetting the body-weight “set-point,” it helps you eat fewer calories without constant will-power.

In clinical studies, people who paired Saxenda with lifestyle changes lost roughly 8–10 % of their starting weight within six months—substantially more than diet and exercise alone.

Many users notice the scales shifting within the first four weeks, but the full benefit builds steadily as the dose rises to the 3 mg maintenance level over several months.

Temporary digestive symptoms—nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea, bloating or heart-burn—are the most frequent. Headache, fatigue or mild low blood sugar can also occur, usually settling once your body adjusts.

Average early loss is 3–5 lb (≈ 1.4–2.3 kg) during the first four weeks. Results vary with starting weight, lifestyle habits and individual response. Consistent diet and activity boost long-term success.

To minimise side effects, the dose steps up weekly: 0.6 mg (Week 1), 1.2 mg (Week 2), 1.8 mg (Week 3), 2.4 mg (Week 4) and 3 mg from Week 5 onward. Gradual uptitration lets your digestive system adapt while maximising fat-loss at the maintenance dose.

Each 3 ml pen contains 18 mg of liraglutide. At the full 3 mg daily dose that equates to six injections per pen, so a starter pack of five pens covers about one month of therapy.

Keep unused pens in the fridge (2 °C–8 °C). Once opened, a pen may stay at room temperature (below 30 °C) for up to four weeks. Discard pens 30 days after first use or if exposed to extreme temperatures.

Rotate between the abdomen (at least 5 cm from the navel), upper outer thigh and upper arm to reduce irritation.

Attach a new needle, perform a quick flow check, dial your dose, clean the site, insert the needle, press and hold until the counter reads “0 mg,” keep it in place for six seconds, then remove and safely discard the needle. A step-by-step guide is included in every Jood starter kit.

Inject as soon as you remember if less than 12 hours late. After 12 hours, skip the missed dose and take the next one at the usual time—never double-dose.

Do not use Saxenda if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to conceive, have pancreatitis, certain cancers, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, medullary thyroid carcinoma, severe liver/kidney/gall-bladder disease, gastroparesis or an eating disorder. Always review your medical history with a Jood clinician first.
