UK Registered DoctorsSaxenda (Liraglutide)
Saxenda is a weight loss medication that works as an appetite suppressant. As well as helping patients lose weight, the medication appears to improve many indicators of cardiovascular risk.
Can I buy Saxenda online?
SAXENDA IS IN STOCK BUT REMAINS IN VERY SHORT SUPPLY. Saxenda (Liraglutide) is available to prescribe in the UK via The Online Clinic. If you complete one of our online medical questionnaires, we can then consider you for this medication. Saxenda (Liraglutide) is available for next day delivery.
How does Saxenda work?
Saxenda contains the active ingredient: Liraglutide. Lirgalutide is a Glucogon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue. GLP-1 is produced naturally in the human body and Liraglutide is a synthetic version of that natural version with 97% amino acid sequence similarity.
Natural GLP-1 is produced in the body in response to food consumption. In the simplest terms, GLP-1 is a messaging system to tell our bodies that no more food is required. By delivering Liraglutide via a simple injection on a daily basis, that messaging system is activated, and we will feel less desire to eat and we will be satisfied with less food. Reduced food consumption should lead to weight loss.
How is Saxenda administered?
Saxenda (Liraglutide) is a daily injection using a very easy to use, dose-adjusted pen that is pre-filled with the medication. All you have to do is set the dial to the correct dosage and inject under the skin of the abdomen. The starting dosage for Liraglutide is 0.6 mg per day. You inject the medication at the same time each day, so choose a time that will always be convenient for you (we recommend the morning). The maximum dosage is 3.0 mg per day, but you must follow the dosing and titration instructions to minimise the risk of side effects. Full instructions are sent with the medication and we provide a helpful video demonstration for all patients after purchase.
If you are prescribed this medication via The Online Clinic, we are on hand to answer any questions you may have about your Saxenda pen.
Side effects of Saxenda
All medications have the potential for side effects but Liraglutide is remarkably well tolerated if taken as directed. Some people experience a little nausea to begin with, but most people find that this dissipates with continued use. Other side effects include indigestion and diarrhoea. A full list of side effects is included on the patient information leaflet, which we make available to patients prior to a purchase. Most people do not get any side effects at all (other than minor nausea at dose increases).
Effectiveness of Liraglutide
Clinical studies have shown Liraglutide to be a highly effective and safe weight loss agent, with people losing clinically significant levels of weight at both the 1.8 mg dose and the 3.0 mg dose. In addition, blood pressure was reduced and there was a marked reduction in levels of C-Reactive Protein (an inflammatory marker associated with cardiovascular risk). Around 65% of patients will achieve meaningful weight loss with Saxenda.

Saxenda Reviews By Our Patients

It really helped me to lose Wright I didn't go up to the highest dose .I managed on a lower dose it worked well for me
-
Easy to use and helps reduce appetite. The service from THeOnlineClinic is easy, quick and friendly
-
Very minor side effects, extremely good results. On my first week of treatment, and it's been an absolute blast. I've been using a steep caloric deficit, but with zero hunger and lowered appetite. I've lost 2-4 lbs in the first week (25-50% likely water weight. This is the future of weight loss. Minor side effects: - Very slight fatigue - Minor headache for the first two days - Minor constipation, simply added lots of fibre, psyllium husk and caffeine to alleviate.

Arrived promptly and well packaged next day delivery. Pack of needles and pen plus info brochure and paperwork. Only on day 2 but definitely have immediately felt no hunger pangs. When I get into the car for work I am already thinking what to get to eat. Now I am only cooking dinner in tiny portions. No side effects at all. Maybe I have eaten the wrong food to make this happen but it hasn't so I'm not complaining.

I started taking Saxenda on the 16th January and today is 29th May. I have lost a grand total of 3 stones, or 42lb. I only have a few pounds to go to reach my target weight. I was a little dubious at first, we’ve all fallen for the miracle diet that promises everything and delivers nothing. I have never had a large appetite, but I do love the wrong things and my only exercise was walking to the fridge or crisp cupboard. So I thought how could Saxenda work, I don’t eat because I’m hungry, I eat because I want it. But it does work, it real...

Excellent service! Always reliable and delivered quickly. Products are of high quality.

Very good will definitely be using to loss weight

I have had excellent results with this product and no significant side effects. It works in a very subtle way to make you feel fuller quicker. This can have the effect of feeling light-headed or unwell because you've not eaten enough. You do need to figure out how best to manage energy dips - mine was to have plenty of fruit to hand that I could snack on. Dinners shrunk by over half and could take me a long time to eat. Frustrating but well worth it in the long run. You will see a good result from the first pack of 5 pens.

Very good

Excellent service by TheOnlineClinic; prompt, professional and courteous - thank you! Regarding the product, easy to use and definitely effective in curbing my appetite. However, after 3 weeks' use, haven't actually lost any weight yet but am hopeful and optimistic.....!

I AM FINDING THIS PRODUCT EASY TO USE. IT IS STOPPING MY CRAVINGS FOR SWEET TREATS AS WELL AS REDUCING MY NEED FOR LARGER PORTIONS. WHICH I AM VERY HAPPY ABOUT.

I have just started my 3rd week on Saxenda, and it is helping my weight loss. But, I am concerned about my increased resting hear rate. I know this is a known side -effect but mine seems to have increased significantly. For example prior to Saxenda my average rhr was 57 bpm. Week 1 on Saxenda it increased to 61 bpm and in week 2 64bpm.

Saxenda has definitely helped me control my appetite and as a result I have lost 6kg in 8 weeks. There was some nausea at the beginning of the treatment, easily addressed by following the guide.
