Saxenda dosing schedule

Wegovy is taken once a week. Aberdeen Weight Loss Clinic experts suggest a specific schedule to gradually increase the dosage to help your body acclimate to the medication.

Week 1

Start with a dose of 0.6mg per day. This initial low dose helps your body gradually adjust to the medication.

Week 2

Increase the dose to 1.2mg per day. If you tolerated the initial dose well, this increase will continue to help you adjust while enhancing the medication’s effects.

Week 3

Increase the dose to 1.8mg per day. Continue monitoring how you feel and report any significant side effects to your healthcare provider.

Week 4

Increase the dose to 2.4mg per day. By this week, your body should be adjusting to Saxenda, and you might start noticing changes in your appetite and weight.

Week 5+

Increase to the maintenance dose of 3.0mg per day. This is the recommended dose for continued weight management.
It’s important to inject Saxenda according to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider, usually into areas such as the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate the injection site with each dose to reduce the risk of skin irritation. It is not safe to increase the dose any faster than every week. Follow your healthcare provider’s advice to manage the dose and reduce side effects.

Supporting your mental health

Obesity, being overweight mental health problems, such as depression and eating disorders, can negatively affect each other, making it harder to manage your weight. It’s important to recognise the link between your mental health and your weight so you can seek help if you need it.

Talking therapies

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effective for tackling the psychological challenges associated with eating disorders and obesity. It focuses on changing the way you think and behave, helping to break the cycle of negative thoughts and actions that can impact eating habits and body image.

To find a CBT therapist via the NHS, you can refer yourself or speak to your GP, who can refer you to talking therapies in Aberdeen.

Why it’s important

By addressing mental health alongside physical health, you have a much better chance of succeeding with Saxenda, improving your overall wellbeing and quality of life. If you find yourself in need of urgent mental health support, contact your local mental health helpline provided by the NHS. These resources can provide immediate care and support in times of need, ensuring that no one has to face their challenges alone.

Keeping active

Exercise doesn’t just burn calories. By triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood enhancers, exercise has been shown to help combat depression and anxiety.

There’s plenty of ways to stay active in Aberdeen, from local gyms and fitness classes to parks and recreational facilities.

Support in Aberdeen

In Aberdeen, NHS Grampian provides comprehensive mental health support for Saxenda patients. They can help with eating disorders and weight-related mental health issues.

Discuss your mental health with your GP in Aberdeen who can refer you to a specialist. You may also be able to refer yourself directly without a referral, but you will need to be registered with a GP to get talking therapies on the NHS. You can find a GP in Aberdeen on the NHS website.
