Boxed warning

Saxenda has a boxed warning about the risk of thyroid cancer. A boxed warning is a serious warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There may be a possible risk of thyroid cancer with Saxenda. In animal studies, Saxenda’s active drug,* liraglutide, was found to cause thyroid tumors in animals. But it’s not known if the drug causes thyroid cancer in humans. Due to the possible risk of thyroid cancer, your doctor will likely not prescribe Saxenda if: you or a member of your close family have had a rare type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), a rare inherited condition that raises your risk of thyroid cancer

Symptoms of thyroid cancer may include:

* An active drug is the ingredient that makes a medication work.

What might help

Informing your doctor about your medical history will help them determine whether Saxenda is safe for you to take.

Keep in mind that nausea can sometimes happen with Saxenda’s more serious side effects. These include kidney problems, gallbladder problems, pancreatitis, and low blood sugar level.

What might help

If you have nausea from Saxenda, here are a few tips to try to help ease it:

Avoid eating large meals. Instead, eat smaller amounts more frequently.

Avoid rich, spicy, or greasy foods.

Take frequent sips of water.

Try ginger or peppermint teas.

Avoid wearing tight clothing.

Avoid lying down after eating.

Be sure to drink plenty of fluids, even if you have nausea or vomiting. If you become dehydrated, this can raise your risk of kidney problems with Saxenda. If you have nausea that’s bothersome, severe, or stops you from eating and drinking normally, talk with your doctor. Also, talk with your doctor if you have nausea with other symptoms, such as belly pain, fever, or urinating less than usual. Your doctor may recommend other ways to ease nausea. They may also check that your nausea is not caused by a more serious condition.

Headache

You may have headaches during Saxenda treatment. These headaches are usually mild and tend to go away as your body gets used to Saxenda. In studies, headaches were commonly reported in adults who took Saxenda. But they weren’t commonly reported in children.

What might help

If you have bothersome headaches with Saxenda, try taking an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol). Ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend a suitable product. If you have headaches that are severe or do not get better, talk with your doctor.
