Hello, Effectively, I would like to know the withdrawal pattern in order to stop taking this drug completely. I want to stop, because the desired effect is not working anymore. Hello, I can confirm that it was for weight loss and that I did not lose 5% of my initial mass. Also, I do not suffer from diabetes. Thank you.

I would like to stop Saxenda. I have been taking this medication since December 2020 and I am at 3mg.

Good evening ma'am,

What is your question specifically? :)

Would you like to know the withdrawal pattern? What makes you want to stop it?

Thank you.

If you have not achieved a weight loss of 5% of your initial weight after 12 weeks at 3mg, then it can actually be stopped.

To do this, it is usually stopped all at once when used for weight loss. Do you have diabetes?

Just tell the doctor and pharmacy.
