Saxsenda [sic] 

Saxsenda [sic] is a common misspelling of "Saxenda". Saxsenda [sic] (liraglutide) is a man-made hormone resembling a naturally occurring gut hormone. It is an injectable medication to help control appetite and weight in obese and overweight people. Saxsenda [sic] belongs to the glucagon-like peptide-1s or GLP-1 class of medications. GLP 1 helps increase insulin release from the pancreas and decrease glucose production.

How Saxsenda [sic] Works 

Saxsenda [sic] works by imitating a hormone in our body called GLP-1. When GLP-1 is released into the gut, it signals to the brain that the body is full and reduces feelings of hunger. Therefore, Saxsenda [sic] works by increasing levels of GLP-1 in the body. By imitating this hormone, Saxsenda [sic] can make us feel full even when we haven't eaten much, so we don't feel the need to eat as much, thereby reducing weight. 

Additionally, Saxsenda [sic] slows down gastric emptying, meaning food stays in your system longer so that you feel fuller after eating smaller amounts of food. This makes it easier to eat fewer calories and stick to healthy portions. 

Saxsenda [sic] has been clinically proven to be safe and effective when used as directed by a doctor. In a three-year study, Saxsenda [sic] users lost over 5% of their total body weight compared to those who only exercised. That's about 10 pounds for someone who weighs 200 pounds. Saxsenda [sic] suppresses cravings and makes sticking to a healthy eating plan easier for many people with weight loss issues. 

Studies have also shown that taking Saxsenda [sic] can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels in people with obesity or overweight issues. These are important factors in helping reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions related to obesity.
