Saxenda works by acting on the receptors in your brain that are responsible for controlling appetite and reducing calorie intake. It mimics GLP-1, the hormone released by your stomach after eating. The hormone increases the feelings of fullness after eating and regulates blood sugar levels. Saxenda is approved for use in adults who have a Body Mass Index ≥ 27 or have medical conditions associated with weight, like non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.

Common Side Effects of Saxenda: As with any medication, Saxenda can cause side effects, some more common than others. These effects can vary from mild to moderate and are generally manageable. This includes:

• Diarrhea: Saxenda can cause diarrhea as a common side effect. This occurs as the body reacts to the medication, often leading to increased bowel movements. You might experience loose, watery stools several times a day, which can lead to dehydration if not managed properly. It’s important to stay hydrated and consult a healthcare provider or doctor if the condition persists or worsens.
• Vomiting: Users of Saxenda may experience vomiting, which can result from the medication’s effect on the digestive system. Vomiting can lead to dehydration and an imbalance in body electrolytes. It’s advisable to take small sips of water or an oral rehydration solution and to see a doctor if vomiting becomes frequent or severe.
• Abdominal Pain: Saxenda can cause abdominal pain, ranging from mild discomfort to severe cramping. This pain might be accompanied by bloating or a feeling of fullness. It’s important to monitor the pain and consult with a healthcare provider, especially if the pain becomes sharp or persists.
• Bloating: Bloating is a common side effect of Saxenda, where the abdomen feels full and tight. This can be uncomfortable & may affect your appetite. Dietary adjustments, such as reducing intake of gas-producing foods, can help manage this symptom.
• Upset Stomach: An upset stomach is often reported by individuals using Saxenda. Symptoms can include general discomfort, nausea, and indigestion. Eating bland, non-fatty foods can help soothe the stomach, and it’s beneficial to speak with a healthcare provider if the symptom persists.
• Constipation: Saxenda can lead to constipation, which involves infrequent or hard bowel movements. Increasing water intake, adding fiber to the diet, and engaging in daily physical activities can help alleviate this side effect.
• Fatigue or Low Energy: Some individuals on Saxenda may feel unusually tired or have low energy levels. Ensuring a balanced diet, adequate hydration, and proper sleep can help manage this symptom.
• Nausea: Nausea is a common side effect of Saxenda. It can vary in intensity and duration. Eating small, frequent meals & avoiding strong smells can help mitigate nausea. If nausea becomes severe, it is important to consult a healthcare provider.
• Headache: Headaches may occur as a side effect of Saxenda. These might range from mild to severe and may be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Consistent headaches should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
• Allergic Reactions: Saxenda may cause mild allergic reactions such as itching, redness, or a rash. Monitoring the reaction and consulting with a healthcare provider is crucial, especially if symptoms escalate or do not resolve.
• Dizziness: Dizziness can occur while using Saxenda, potentially affecting balance and daily activities. It’s important to sit or lie down if feeling dizzy and to hydrate well. A healthcare provider should evaluate persistent dizziness.
• Fever: A fever might occasionally develop as a side effect of Saxenda. While it may be mild, a persistent fever should be checked by a healthcare professional to rule out any infections or adverse reactions.

Serious Side Effects of Saxenda: When you buy Saxenda online, you consider the serious side effects associated with this medication. This includes:

• Inflammation in Your Pancreas: Saxenda can lead to pancreatitis, an inflammation of the pancreas. This condition manifests as severe and persistent abdominal pain, which may radiate to the back. Symptoms might include nausea, vomiting, fever, and a rapid pulse. It is crucial to seek medical attention if these symptoms occur, as pancreatitis can become life-threatening if untreated.
• Fast or Irregular Heartbeat: When you use Saxenda, it may cause an increase in heart rate or lead to irregular heartbeats. Symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or chest pain should be reported to a doctor or healthcare provider immediately. This side effect can be particularly risky for those with pre-existing heart conditions.
• Low Blood Sugar/Hyperglycemia: Although more common in diabetic patients, Saxenda can cause changes in blood sugar levels, including hypoglycemia. Symptoms might include shaking, sweating, severe hunger, confusion, and irritability. It’s important to monitor sugar levels regularly and discuss any changes with your doctor.
• Chronic Kidney Disease: Saxenda has been associated with a potential decline in kidney function, manifesting as changes in urine output, swelling in the feet or ankles, fatigue, or nausea. Long-term effects can lead to chronic kidney disease, necessitating regular monitoring of kidney function during treatment.
• Gallbladder Disease: Use of Saxenda can increase the risk of developing gallstones and gallbladder disease, which can lead to abdominal pain, nausea, or jaundice. These symptoms require medical evaluation, as gallbladder problems can lead to complications if left untreated.
• Mental Health Issues: Saxenda may exacerbate or cause new mental health problems such as depression or anxiety. Users should be vigilant about any changes in mood or behavior and discuss these with their doctor. Quick recognition & management of these symptoms are crucial for overall well-being.
• Mood Disorders Triggered: In addition to general mental health issues, Saxenda can specifically trigger mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder. If you experience new or worsening mood swings, depression, or suicidal thoughts, it is important to contact a healthcare provider immediately.
• Risk of Thyroid Cancer: There is an increased risk of thyroid C-cell tumors associated with Saxenda. Patients should be aware of symptoms like trouble swallowing, hoarseness, or shortness of breath. Regular thyroid monitoring should be considered for those on Saxenda.
• Serious Allergic Reaction: Saxenda can cause severe allergic reactions characterized by symptoms such as rashes, swelling, difficulty breathing, and rapid heartbeat. If any of these symptoms are observed, seek emergency medical help, as this can be life-threatening

Remember that side effects may be caused by other factors, such as age, health conditions, and medications you might take to treat them. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you identify possible side effects of Saxenda. They can also help you reduce side effects.

[Note: Remember, this list may not cover all possible side effects. Always consult with your healthcare giver for medical advice about side effects.]

In that case, your doctor won’t prescribe Saxenda if you have an inherited condition of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 or MEN-2.
