Use Saxenda once daily by injecting it under the skin in your stomach area, upper arm, or thigh—whichever spot you are most comfortable with. It should be taken at the same time each day, with or without food.

The dosage usually starts low and is gradually increased after each week to help manage side effects. The maximum recommended dose is 3 mg daily.
