Saxenda (liraglutide): Complete Guide 2026

Updated April 2026Reviewed by Enzo Medical Advisory Team

Saxenda (liraglutide 3mg) is a once-daily injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for chronic weight management. It was one of the first GLP-1 medications specifically approved for obesity treatment and paved the way for newer agents like Wegovy and Zepbound. While its weight loss results (~8% in the SCALE trials) are more modest than newer options, Saxenda remains widely prescribed and has a well-established long-term safety profile spanning over a decade.

Enzo's Tip

Saxenda is a daily commitment — just like Enzo's daily routine of breakfast, nap, play, nap, dinner, nap. Pick the same time each day for your injection and it'll become second nature before you know it. Enzo will send you a little nudge every day! 💉🐱
