Saxenda (liraglutide) for weight loss, honestly

Saxenda is a daily injection of liraglutide 3.0 mg, a GLP-1 medicine approved for long-term weight loss alongside diet and activity. In the SCALE trial it gave about 8.4 kg (around 8% of body weight) loss over 56 weeks. It is an older, well-studied GLP-1, less powerful than the newer weekly drugs, but a real option. This article tells you what it is, how it compares, and what to ask your doctor.
