Saxenda contains liraglutide which works by causing you to feel fuller and less hungry. The dose is titrated up over 5 weeks to reach the maintenance dose. Administration is via once daily self injection. The needle is extra fine and hidden away in a pen so that you do not see it, you just push against the upper arm, stomach or thigh and click the top of the pen.
