You’ve heard of weight loss diets and weight loss supplements but have you heard of weight loss by injection?

The latest FDA-approved injectable weight-loss drug, Saxenda, has been gaining popularity by helping your body feel full sooner after you war. Overall, this may help you to consume less calories and is ideally paired with increased activity to help one better achieve their desired results.

Saxenda works via injection, this means you are prescribed a pre-filled pen which you use to inject into your body, once a day, regardless of the time of day. Studies have shown that such prescription weight loss injections can be effective in helping individuals reach and maintain a healthier weight.

Saxenda can be used by patients who are obese with a BMI of 30 or more and even by patients who have a BMI of 27 or more, coupled with weight related medical conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure.
