Saxenda vs Wegovy: daily or weekly weight-loss jab

Saxenda and Wegovy are two real prescription weight-loss injections from the same family of medicines called GLP-1 receptor agonists. Saxenda is a daily liraglutide jab that gave about 8% weight loss in its big study. Wegovy is a weekly semaglutide jab that gave about 15% in its big study. More average loss on Wegovy, but bigger is not automatically better for you. This honest, India-friendly comparison helps you walk into your doctor's clinic with clear questions, not a decision made from a headline.

You may have heard about two weight-loss injections from the same company, Novo Nordisk. One is called Saxenda, taken every day. The other is called Wegovy, taken once a week. Both are real prescription medicines, not magic. Both help you feel less hungry so you eat a bit less, and both work best with a simple diet and daily movement. People often ask: is the newer weekly one always better, and is the daily one now old news? The honest answer is: not always. This article compares them plainly, so you can walk into your doctor's clinic with clear questions. Your doctor decides what fits your body, your life, and your budget.
