Figuring out what to order for a new medication can be a stressful experience. When buying Saxenda online, you have a number of choices to make. The following guide gives some information on each option, alongside some extra information about your order.
What is Saxenda?
Saxenda (active ingredient liraglutide) is a weight loss treatment made by Novo Nordisk, which is now available on the NHS to help treat weight-related medical problems. Saxenda can be prescribed to people with a BMI of 30 or higher. It can also be prescribed to people with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have weight-related medical conditions like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
Saxenda works because it’s similar to a hormone produced by the body called GLP-1. This hormone is released from the intestine after a meal. By mimicking this hormone, Saxenda works on the part of the brain that controls appetite to make you feel fuller and less hungry.
A daily injection of Saxenda can help you lose weight in conjunction with diet and exercise. Saxenda can also be purchased through our site – head over to our Saxenda page and take an assessment to see if Saxenda is suitable for you.
The Parcel
All of our deliveries are shipped in plain, unmarked packaging. This helps retain your privacy, meaning you can shop in peace without worrying about nosy neighbours, no matter your needs.
The Pen
Your order will contain a Saxenda Pen, filled with 3ml of treatment. You can choose your injection sites as needed; the upper arm, abdomen and thigh are all suitable. This pen can be adjusted to provide different dosages, which you will need to increase as you move through the treatment plan.
You can order a single pen as required; the standard treatment course is 12 weeks. See our post on how long a Saxenda pen lasts for more information on dosages and treatment.

The Needles
As Saxenda is an injectable treatment, we also supply 32g pen needles, designed for easy use with Saxenda pens. Simply swap out the needle daily, and dispose of them in a Sharps Bin. Each box contains enough individually-wrapped sterile needles for 14 weeks of treatment. You can buy replacement needles separately via our online shop.
The Sharps Bin
If you are using any sort of needle on a daily basis, a sharps bin is an essential tool. This brightly-coloured disposal solution allows you to dispose of your needles safely and can be disposed of through your local council. See this NHS guide for links to your local council’s disposal sites.
The Patient Information Leaflet
Each pen comes with a copy of the Patient Information Leaflet. Please read through this before starting treatment – it includes possible side effects, guides for how to use the product, as well as manufacturer specifications.
Saxenda Reviews
After using any treatment, it’s helpful to let others know about your experience. Reviews of an item help other users know that medicines received are genuine, how well the treatment worked or any common side effects to be aware of. We invite our users to leave a review of both their treatment and of the service provided. Please head to our Saxenda page if you wish to leave a UK Saxenda review for this product.
