Saxenda® Injection in Malaysia
Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals with Saxenda®
Losing weight can be challenging and overwhelming, but with the right tools and support, it can also be a life-changing experience. At Dr. K & Associates Clinic, we offer Saxenda® injections to assist our clients in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight, leading to improved health and overall well-being.
How Does Saxenda® Work?
Saxenda® is an FDA-approved injectable that mimics a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It plays an essential role in regulating appetite and food intake by sending signals to the brain that decrease hunger and increase satiety.
By binding to the GLP-1 receptors in the brain, Saxenda® triggers the same pathways activated by the natural hormone. This leads to reduced appetite, enabling individuals to consume fewer calories and achieve their weight loss goals.
Additionally, Saxenda® may slow down the digestion process, resulting in prolonged feelings of fullness and reduced cravings to eat frequently.
Is Saxenda® Right for You?
Saxenda® injections are a prescription medication for overweight individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or higher with a weight-related medical condition such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
It is not intended for use in children or people with a history of certain medical conditions, such as pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, or problems with digestion.
