How Is Saxenda Dosed?
Saxenda is administered as a daily injectable medication. It can be taken at a time that is most convenient for you (e.g., before breakfast, lunch, dinner, or bedtime) but should be used at approximately the same time each day.
The medication is provided in a prefilled, multi-dose pen, and the dosage is typically increased according to a set schedule. However, if side effects occur, your doctor may adjust the rate of dosage increases to help your body better adapt to the medication.
