What is Saxenda?

Saxenda is the brand name for liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist used for weight management in suitable adults. It is injected daily and should only be used after a clinician reviews suitability and contraindications.

How Saxenda compares with Wegovy and Mounjaro

Saxenda is a daily GLP-1 option, while Wegovy and Mounjaro are weekly injections. Many newer provider pathways focus on weekly medicines, but Saxenda can still be relevant for some patients depending on clinical suitability, availability and prescriber advice.

Saxenda cost in Ireland

Private Saxenda costs depend on provider, dose, pharmacy supply and consultation fees. Always confirm whether the displayed price includes the medical consultation, prescription handling, dispensing and delivery.

Provider questions to ask

Ask whether Saxenda is currently offered, how daily dosing is supported, what happens if side effects occur, and whether a weekly alternative would be more suitable for your medical history and budget.
