Saxenda is administered via a daily injection using an 18 mg/3 mL pen. Your provider will start you on a low dose (0.6 mg) and gradually increase weekly to a maintenance dose of up to 3 mg for optimal results. Follow your provider’s instructions carefully.
If you need to stop, consult your provider for guidance on tapering to minimize side effects.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, headache, constipation, and injection site reactions. These typically lessen over time. Serious but less common effects include gallstones, increased heart rate, pancreatitis, or allergic reactions.
Always inform your provider of any adverse effects and discuss your complete medical history for safe treatment.
The average retail price is approximately $1,430 for a pack of five pens, lasting about 30 days at the maintenance dose. Insurance may cover part of the cost, but prior authorization could be required.
Discount programs from GoodRx and other providers can reduce costs; for example, prices in Los Angeles start at around $1,313 with a discount.
Saxenda produces similar weight loss results as medications like Qsymia and Contrave, achieving 5-10% weight loss over 56 weeks. It’s less potent than Wegovy or Zepbound but may be preferred for daily use or if other medications aren’t tolerated.
