Let’s Learn All About Saxenda Injection Benefits + Information!

After its launch in March 2018, there was a stock shortage, and many people have been looking for it to the point that supplies are insufficient.

Saxenda, sought by many people!

Why is Saxenda so popular? Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery will tell you.

What is Saxenda?

It is a very safe and effective weight-loss and appetite-suppressing medication approved by the U.S. FDA.

It is an obesity treatment that can be prescribed for long-term treatment, so it has many advantages!

How safe is it?

As a result of studying Saxenda injections at 3 mg for three years, cardiovascular safety was proven.

In the case of existing obesity treatment injections, there were risks to the cardiovascular system, but in the case of Saxenda, there were results showing a reduction in cardiovascular risks such as angina and myocardial infarction.

Saxenda has many advantages, including the ability to improve blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and fatty liver issues, helping address adult diseases as well.

Not classified as a psychotropic drug

Existing appetite suppressants were classified as psychotropic drugs, making it difficult to prescribe them long term for more than three months.

In such cases, the likelihood of the rebound effect was high, often worsening obesity instead. However, Saxenda can be prescribed long term, so it has the advantage of allowing continuous weight management.

However, if you overeat because your appetite is no longer suppressed after stopping, you may gain weight again, so be careful! Even while receiving Saxenda, it is important to manage your condition consistently through ongoing diet control and exercise.

Saxenda has many advantages, but it also has side effects!

1. Nausea It is most severe in the first month, but after that, noticeable nausea symptoms decrease. Therefore, it is better to gradually increase the dose.

Also, severe nausea does not mean the weight-loss effect is better.

2. Diarrhea and constipation

3. Allergic reaction at the injection site When a reaction occurs, changing the injection site from the abdomen to the thigh, reducing the dose, or slowly withdrawing the needle after 6–10 seconds may improve the rash problem.

4. Temporary lethargy, etc.

Depending on a person's constitution and tendencies, various side effects may occur, so inform the clinic of your symptoms and take appropriate measures.
