{"product_id":"saxenda","title":"Saxenda","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"187\" data-end=\"373\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSaxenda is a once-daily injection that contains liraglutide. It is used for weight management alongside healthy eating, reduced calorie intake and regular physical activity where clinically appropriate. Saxenda works by acting in a similar way to GLP-1, a natural hormone involved in appetite regulation. It can help you feel fuller and less hungry, which may support portion control and reduced food intake over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible-content__inner\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- How to use --\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow to use\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapsible__content accordion__content rte\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"14da56ac-bb10-48a5-a21b-90d75aef13b5\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-2-thinking\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaxenda is injected once daily under the skin, usually into the abdomen, thigh or upper arm.
