How does the drug work?

Saxenda, along with a low-calorie diet and exercise program, is designed to help people lose weight. Weight loss, in turn, can help regulate blood sugar and insulin ranges.

This drug is a non-native incretin,
which acts similarly to naturally occurring glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). in the body GLP-1 increases the insulin cache and lowers blood sugar. Saxenda regulates appetite, which in turn can inhibit glucagon production.

To be most effective, it should be taken with a low-calorie diet and regularly with increased exercise.
