How it works
Saxenda belongs to the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists group that cleverly mimics a natural hormone in your body that boosts insulin levles and suppresses appetite. It slows digestion, extending the feeling of fullness, which is beneficial for managing blood sugar and weight control.
