Liraglutide

Saxenda

Liraglutide (Saxenda) is an effective weight-loss medication that helps control appetite and increase feelings of fullness, facilitating sustainable weight loss. By mimicking the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, Liraglutide reduces hunger and makes it easier to maintain a healthy calorie intake.

FagerCare offers Liraglutide as part of our weight-loss program, providing support and guidance to help you achieve your weight goals and improve your health safely and effectively.

What is Liraglutide?

Liraglutide is a weight-control medication that resembles a natural hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is released from the intestines after a meal. Liraglutide acts on receptors in the brain that regulate appetite, helping you feel fuller and less hungry. By influencing these signals, Liraglutide can help you eat less and reduce body weight.

Liraglutide is available under brand names such as Saxenda. The most common side effects of Liraglutide are nausea and abdominal discomfort.

BMI is a practical tool to estimate whether your weight is within a healthy range in relation to your height. By using a simple formula (your weight divided by your height squared in meters), BMI can indicate if you are underweight, of normal weight, overweight or obese.

Our medications are recommended for individuals with obesity (a BMI of 30 or higher) or overweight (BMI between 27 and 30) where complications or risk factors exist, such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, high blood sugar, atherosclerosis or sleep apnea.
