What is it?
Saxenda, also known as the "skinny jab," is a daily injectable weight-loss treatment that can reduce appetite and aid in weight management.
It is typically prescribed to patients who are obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or those with weight-related medical issues like high blood pressure, type-2 diabetes, or high cholesterol, who have a BMI of 27 or higher.
Saxenda is designed to be user-friendly, painless and easy to use. It comes in a prefilled pen, which means there is no need for measuring or mixing. The injection is administered just under the skin of the stomach, thigh, or upper arm.
Is it approved by the MHRA?
Yes, Saxenda is approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK as a prescription-only medication - with CheqUp, our doctor will review your medical history and will prescribe the medication to you if you are eligible.
When will I see results?
The effectiveness of Saxenda can vary from person to person, with noticeable changes typically occurring within 2 weeks to 9-12 months of treatment.
However, for optimal results, it is crucial to maintain a healthy diet and engage in regular exercise, thus why we recommend taking our weight loss management service alongside your medication.

HOW GLP-1 WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION WORKS
GLP-1 medication works by mimicking our body’s own gut hormones to suppress hunger. Saxenda, (liraglutide) for example, is 97% similar to your body’s own GLP-1
GLP-1 medication works in the hypothalamus where it interacts with specific neurons involved in the regulation of hunger and food intake
GLP-1 medication increases the feeling of “being full” and decreased hunger
As a result of this mechanism, patients feel satisfied on less food, leading to weight loss
