Draft:Effects or consequences after treatment with Saxenda (liraglutide)

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Saxenda and Liraglutide edit

Saxenda is an injectable medication that is recommended for those patients (adults) who are overweight or suffer from other related diseases such as obesity.

The injection is the injectable presentation for the medication liraglutide, which is used to treat blood sugar disorders in patients, the majority of whom are obese or diabetics.

Liraglutide is a drug that is designed to control and manage sugar levels within an individual, it is used to medicate and help people with type 2 diabetes or obesity.

Obesity edit

Obesity is a chronic illness that has harmed hundreds of people for a long time. It is the buildup of fat within the human body that is detrimental to one's health.

Consequences or Negative effects: edit

Like all medications, this one has consequences or side effects when stopped, even though it has helped a lot of people.

Digestive Problems edit

In the Journal of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes of South Africa,[9] according to L. Lambert, "During clinical trials, gastrointestinal reactions were the most commonly reported adverse reactions." These consist of constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea.

Rebound effect / Weight gaining edit

In the Medicine Matters - Diabetes website,[10] they discussed how Bodyweight rebounds after the withdrawal of the medication:

“The researchers found that people who lost the most weight while taking semaglutide tended to then regain the most after stopping it, although they still retained a larger reduction from baseline than participants who had lost less weight during the treatment period.”

The issue with this medication is that,[11] similar to other medicines, it does not work like magic; instead, the effectiveness of the medication depends on how well the person taking it is managing it. Long-term medication effects end, and maintaining your well-being depends entirely on maintaining a regular schedule and leading a balanced, healthy life. After stopping the medication, the rebound effect happens in people who do not follow a healthy diet and routine.
