Product Overview
Kickstart your weight management journey safely with Saxenda. This multi-dose, pre-filled injection pen is designed to help adults and adolescents (aged 12 and older) with obesity, or those who are overweight with weight-related medical conditions, lose weight and keep it off when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
The 0.6 mg setting is the official starting dose for Week 1 of the Saxenda treatment plan. Beginning with this low initial dose allows your body to gently adapt to the medication, helping to minimize early stomachrelated side effects while laying the groundwork for your long-term health goals.
