Product features

  • With lifestyle changes, around 86% of people lose weight

  • Daily injection that suppresses appetite

  • 3 pens in a starter pack, 5 pens in a maintenance pack

Saxenda® is an effective weight loss drug which is used to help people with high body mass indexes (BMI). Your BMI is a measure that uses your height and weight to see if you’re a healthy weight, and we'll check this before our clinicians can prescribe this treatment. 

With lifestyle changes, around 86% of people who use Saxenda® lose weight. 

What is Saxenda®?

Saxenda® is a weight loss drug containing the active ingredient liraglutide. It’s injected into the body each day to help you lose weight. The treatment works best when it’s combined with a reduced calorie diet and increased exercise programme.

How does Saxenda® work?

Simply put, Saxenda® works by making you feel less hungry and fuller when you eat.

Your body produces a hormone known as a glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1), which helps you to naturally regulate your appetite. Liraglutide copies the action of this hormone, by reducing your appetite, which hopefully means you need to eat less, and you lose weight.

Saxenda® effectiveness

Saxenda® has been proven to be a very effective weight loss treatment, with lifestyle changes, as many as 85% of the people taking it losing some weight. 

In a clinical study over 56 weeks, where patients received Saxenda® alongside a reduced calorie diet and exercise counselling: 

  • Three in five people lost more than 5% of their body weight (that was an average of 5kg) 
  • One in three people lost more than 10% of their body weight (that was an average of 10kg) 

Who can take Saxenda®?

Saxenda® is suitable for people with: 

  • A BMI of 30 and over 
  • A BMI of 27 to 30 and have another weight-related ‘co-morbidity’ (e.g. high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnoea) 

The drug always works best when paired with a low calorie, balanced diet and increased exercise programme. 

Taking Saxenda®

If you’re prescribed Saxenda®, you’ll have to inject yourself with the treatment each day.  

The dosing schedule increases throughout the first four weeks, to make sure your body can tolerate the treatment and you don’t experience lots of side effects. This process is called titration.  

The Saxenda® dosing schedule is as follows: 

  • Week 1 – 0.6mg injected daily 
  • Week 2 – 1.2mg injected daily 
  • Week 3 – 1.8mg injected daily  
  • Week 4 – 2.4mg injected daily 
  • Week 5 – 3.0mg injected daily 

If you can tolerate the 3.0mg dose you will then be kept on this dose for the duration of your time taking the treatment. This is known as the maintenance phase.  

After 12 weeks of being on the 3.0mg dose, you'll be asked to check in with your clinician. This is because you’ll only be able to continue with the treatment if you’ve lost a certain amount of weight.

    Delivery address information

    • Mounjaro® must be delivered to your home address to ensure safe storage as soon as possible.
    • Please follow the tracking information provided by Royal Mail to make sure you are available for delivery. 
    • LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor cannot take any responsibility for lost or stolen parcels once delivery has taken place, and no refunds will be issued.
    • Please do not use a pharmacy address. It is likely your delivery will be rejected or disposed of. No refunds will be issued if this happens.
    • Please do not order Mounjaro® if your delivery address is in the Channel Islands, Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man or other exception postcodes in the UK. Mounjaro® must stay refrigerated in transit and delivery to these areas will be delayed. Unfortunately, you won't be able to safely use the full dose of the prescribed treatment. If you proceed, your order will be cancelled and refunded.

  • Can I contact a clinician before I place an order?

    Yes. If you have questions about treatment, you can message our clinicians before placing an order via your account. For messages received before 4pm, you will usually receive a response the same day.

  • Who can use the first consultation offer?

    The offer applies to new patients only and is available on their first Weight Loss consultation.

  • Can I request more than one pen at a time?

    As a prescription-only-medicine, you will only be able to request Mounjaro if our clinicians consider it an appropriate treatment following your consultation.

    As a new patient to weight loss injections, you will only be able to request a single dose of Mounjaro. Following your first month, you will have the option to request either a single pen or two pens from a single consultation. Existing patients will be able to access this service immediately.

  • Can I drink alcohol whilst taking Mounjaro®?

    You can drink whilst taking Mounjaro®. However, limiting your daily intake is recommended as a best practice measure alongside your normal meal plan.

  • Where can you get Mounjaro in the UK?

    Mounjaro is available as a treatment for weight loss in the UK, although you will need a prescription before you can request it. If you are looking to access Mounjaro treatment through LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor, you will need to provide proof of your identity and BMI. See the section ‘Requesting Mounjaro from LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor’ above for more information on this.

  • What happens when you stop taking Mounjaro?

    When you stop taking Mounjaro and you have type 2 diabetes, your blood sugar levels can increase. Your appetite should fully return within around a week. This can lead to future weight gain. 

    It is not recommended that you stop taking Mounjaro for weight loss without consulting with your GP. For more information, look at our article on the effects of stopping weight loss injections.

  • Where should you inject Mounjaro?

    Mounjaro should be injected into one of the following:

    • Your stomach
    • Your thighs
    • Your upper arms (get someone to help if you choose here)

    You can inject into the same area each time, but make sure you don’t choose the same spot! This can lead to irritation and bruising. For more information on using Mounjaro read our guide on how to use weight loss injections.

  • Does Mounjaro® need to be refrigerated?

    If unopened, Mounjaro® pens should be kept refrigerated. During use, pens can be kept either in the fridge or at room temperature.

  • How much weight can you lose on Mounjaro?

    As mentioned above, the result of a clinical trial showed that patients lost (on average) up to 22.5% of their initial weight after being on the highest dose of Mounjaro for 72 weeks.

    However, this amount will vary per patient and be affected by your lifestyle when taking Mounjaro. For the best results, treatment should be taken with a low-calorie diet and regular exercise.

  • Alternative weight loss treatments

    We offer a range of weight loss treatments, from injections like Wegovy to tablets like Orlistat and Xenical. Visit our medicated weight loss page to learn more about these as well as information about other treatments like Saxenda.

    If you are considering switching treatments to Wegovy, please read our article on how to do so.

    If you’re looking to lose weight without medication there are several steps you can take, as recommended by the NHS:

    • Eat healthily
    • Aim to reduce daily calories by 600
    • Get active – the NHS recommends adults should be doing two and a half hours of moderate intensity activity a week (or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity activity)

  • How far in advance should you order Mounjaro®?

    Should you order Mounjaro in advance?
    We would not advise ordering Mounjaro® in advance or in bulk. While this might seem like a time-saving measure, you may decide to stay on a specific dose or move to another weight loss treatment as a part of your journey.

    When should I order my next dose of Mounjaro®?
    We recommend you order your next dose of Mounjaro® once you have taken your fourth and final dose of your current pen. However, if the delivery of your next pen is delayed due to a bank holiday then we suggest ordering early (see the latest information below). If you’re worried, keep a calendar or alert for when you need to re-order your weight loss treatment and keep aware of any potential roadblocks.
