Withdrawal scheme saxenda ? Gradual decrease of the dose ?

52-year-old womana year ago

Hello, I would like to know the weaning schedule for the saxenda treatment, My case is pre-diabetes, and overweight. I've been taking the treatment for 2 weeks, less 4 kg, I imagine that I will have to stop progressively by decreasing the dose each week, once the weight is reached and the blood test is regularized? Thank you.

Hello ma'am,

There is no withdrawal necessary for this product, it can be stopped without doing it gradually.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
