What is the primary use of Saxenda?

Saxenda is primarily used for weight management. It is an injectable medication that contains liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA). Its primary indication is to assist in weight loss and improve weight-related health conditions in adults who are obese or overweight and have at least one weight-related comorbidity. Saxenda works by mimicking a hormone that helps regulate appetite, leading to reduced hunger, increased feelings of fullness, and ultimately, weight loss.

While Saxenda can have some effects on blood sugar and may help in weight loss for individuals with type 2 diabetes, it is not primarily indicated for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or for lipid reduction. Its main focus is clearly on aiding weight management, making this answer the most appropriate choice.
