Saxenda (liraglutide) is a brand-name drug prescribed for weight loss and long-term weight management, along with a healthy diet and exercise. Saxenda, like Wegovy and Ozempic, belongs to a drug class called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists. Saxenda works by mimicking gut peptides, which help regulate blood sugar. Research has found that, in conjunction with appropriate lifestyle habits, these medications can help people lose significant weight or maintain weight loss. However, like other drugs in its class like Wegovy and Ozempic, Saxenda can have very serious side effects.
The most common side effects of Saxenda include: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, tiredness, weakness, feeling dizzy stomach problems, difficulty sleeping, gallstones, reaction around injection site, low blood suger, and an increase in pancreatic enzymes.
Additionally, Saxenda presents the same serious weight loss drug side effects including: gastrointestinal side effects, a paralyzed stomach, and other Saxenda side effects.
If you or someone you know has suffered Saxenda stomach side effects or any other Saxenda side effects, you may be eligible for a Saxenda lawsuit and possibly be entitled to substantial compensation.
