When you start Saxenda, your doctor will start with a lower dose and slowly increase it over 5 weeks to help lower your risk for nausea (feeling sick to your stomach). Nausea is the most common side effect when you first start this treatment, but it should decrease over time as your body gets used to the medicine. Other common stomach side effects include diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting. If you develop an upset stomach and nausea when starting Saxenda, try these tips to help:

Eat bland, low-fat foods, like crackers, toast, and rice

Avoid spicy foods or those high in fat (fried foods, fast-food items)

Eat foods that contain water like soups and gelatin

Avoid sugary foods or desserts

Don't lie down after you eat

If you take too much Saxenda, call your doctor right away. Injecting too much Saxenda may cause severe nausea and vomiting, and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). The Saxenda brand of liraglutide is NOT used for treating type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The Victoza brand of liraglutide is only used to treat type 2 diabetes, but may also help you lose some weight. Do not use Saxenda and Victoza at the same time.

In the fifth week and thereafter, you increase your dose to the full dose of 3 mg. Stay on this dose unless your healthcare provider tells you to change it. A doctor may reduce a child's dose to 2.4 mg daily if the maximum dose is not tolerated. You inject Saxenda subcutaneously (under the skin) once daily at any time of day, but it's best to get into a routine of injecting it the same time of day so you don't forget your dose. You can take Saxenda with or without food. If you miss more than 3 doses of Saxenda, contact your doctor as you will need to restart the medicine slowly over time at a lower dose (called dose titration) to help avoid an upset stomach. Before starting Saxenda, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you have any problems with your stomach, such as slowed emptying of your stomach (gastroparesis) or problems with digestion.
