How do I restart Saxenda after a 5 day break?

58-year-old woman2 years ago

I have been taking Saxenda for 2 months. While on vacation outside the country I had to stop because I forgot my doses at home. I would like to start again but I'm wondering if I should start again at 3mg or do the same protocol as before. O.6 one week then 1.2 etc

Thank you for your question!

Indeed, it would be more prudent to start at 0.6 mg as you had done in the past and to increase gradually at intervals of at least 1 week.

I hope I've been helpful, don't hesitate if you have any other questions!
