Saxenda injections are prescription weight loss pens containing liraglutide, a clinically proven medication for weight management. Each Saxenda injectable pen is pre-filled and designed for easy daily self-injection at home. When you buy Saxenda online from our UK pharmacy, you’ll receive everything needed, including disposable needles, alcohol wipes and a sharps disposal bin.
Saxenda is designed to suppress your appetite and help you feel satisfied with smaller portions, which in turn helps you lose weight. It contains the active ingredient liraglutide, which mimics the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that your body naturally produces.
Liraglutide works by:

Saxenda treatment uses a gradual dose increase over 5 weeks to minimise side effects:

Week 2 | 1.2 mg once a day |
Week 3 | 1.8 mg once a day |
Week 4 | 2.4 mg once a day |
Week 5 onwards | 3.0 mg once a day |
Begin with 0.6mg daily and increase the dose weekly until you reach the maintenance dose of 3.0mg by week 5. Treatment should be stopped if you haven’t lost at least 5% of your body weight after 12 weeks on the highest dose.

Clinical trials show that Saxenda is a highly effective weight loss drug when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. In a 56-week study of 3,731 patients, 63% of people taking Saxenda lost 5% or more of their body weight compared to 34% taking a placebo, and 33% lost more than 10% of their body weight compared to 15% taking a placebo.
As supported by Saxenda reviews from real users, this is one of the most effective prescription weight loss treatments available in the UK.
You can inject Saxenda into your upper arm, abdomen (stomach area), or upper thigh. Rotate between different injection sites to avoid irritation.
Take your Saxenda injection once daily at any time. You can inject it with or without food, but try to inject at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your body.
Lasts | Dose Range | |
Pen 1 | 17 days | 0.6mg daily dose |
Pen 2 | 8.5 days | 1.2mg daily dose |
Pen 3 | 6.5 days | 1.8mg daily dose |
Pen 4 + | 6 days | 3.0mg daily dose |
The duration of each Saxenda pen depends on your current dose. During the first week of treatment at 0.6mg daily, your initial pen will last over two weeks. As you gradually increase your dose each week, the pens will be used up more quickly. By the time you reach the full 3.0mg maintenance dose, you’ll use approximately one pen every six days, requiring about five pens per month.
Most people tolerate Saxenda well, but some side effects can occur, especially when starting treatment. The gradual dose increase helps minimise these effects.
Always review the patient information leaflet before starting treatment.
Contact your GP or pharmacist immediately if you experience any severe or persistent side effects. Most side effects are mild and improve as your body adjusts to the medication.
If you experience any side effects, even if they aren’t included in the patient information leaflet, report them to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse. You can also report side effects directly via the Yellow Card Scheme.
If Saxenda isn’t suitable for you, other weight loss treatments are available from our weight loss clinic:
Wegovy works similarly to Saxenda by suppressing appetite. While Saxenda requires daily injection, Wegovy only needs to be taken once per week. Both medications are GLP-1 receptor agonists, but Wegovy may offer slightly greater weight loss results in clinical studies.
Mounjaro is the newest weight loss medication, and it is taken weekly like Wegovy. It works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, potentially offering enhanced weight loss compared to Saxenda.
Orlistat is an oral medication that works differently from Saxenda by blocking fat absorption in your digestive system. While Saxenda suppresses appetite, Orlistat requires strict dietary changes to avoid unpleasant side effects. Saxenda typically produces greater weight loss than Orlistat.
Saxenda is available for prescription only at Click2Pharmacy. To check suitability, you must fill out a short online consultation form. Once a qualified practitioner approves, a prescription will be issued, and the medication will be dispatched the following day.

Weight loss varies between individuals, but many lose 1-2 pounds weekly once they reach the full dose. In the first month, you may lose 4-8 pounds, though this depends on your starting weight, diet, and exercise.
Yes, Saxenda is clinically proven and approved for weight loss in the UK. Like all medications, it can cause side effects, which are usually mild and temporary. Our pharmacists will assess your suitability before prescribing.
There’s no direct interaction between Saxenda and alcohol, but alcohol is high in calories and can interfere with weight loss. Limit alcohol intake while using Saxenda for best results.
You can switch between these medications under medical supervision. Both work similarly but have different dosing schedules, so you should consult with our pharmacists about making this change safely.
You can take weight loss injections abroad, but carry your prescription and keep Saxenda in its original packaging. Check destination country regulations and keep refrigerated pens in an insulated bag during travel.
No, stop Saxenda immediately if you’re trying to conceive or become pregnant. Use effective contraception while using Saxenda.
Store unused pens in the refrigerator (2-8°C). Once used, pens can be stored at room temperature (below 30°C) for up to one month. Never freeze or shake the pens.
Follow a reduced-calorie diet as recommended by your healthcare provider. Focus on whole foods, lean proteins, vegetables, and controlled portions. Saxenda helps you feel satisfied with smaller meals.
We also have recipe books and meal plans designed to complement your Saxenda treatment and support your weight loss journey.
If you miss a dose and it’s within 12 hours of your usual time, take it as soon as you remember. If more than 12 hours have passed, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule the next day.
