SAXENDA

About Saxenda

Saxenda works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and blood sugar. When injected, Saxenda helps reduce hunger by acting on the brain’s appetite control centers, making you feel fuller for longer and ultimately reducing overall food intake. It also slows down the emptying of the stomach, which not only helps with satiety but also helps to control blood sugar levels after meals.
