No, but they are similar.
Our first line treatments are GLP-1 Receptor Agonists, which means that their active ingredient is from the same group of medicines as Liraglutide, the active ingredient in Saxenda.
This means that these treatments work in a similar way, whether you take them as tablets or injections.
However, there are a few differences between our weight loss treatments and Saxenda.
Saxenda is a daily injection, whereas our treatments can be administered either as a weekly injection or in tablet form.
Current studies also show that the GLP-1 Receptor Agonist our prescribers prefer tends to be three times more effective for weight management and reduction than Saxenda.
Please be aware that although our treatments are convenient, they may not be right for you.
Our prescribers will need to undergo an online consultation with you so they can understand your condition and prescribe the treatment they think will be the best for you.
