Saxenda in Dubai — the daily GLP-1 option.
Saxenda (liraglutide, Novo Nordisk) is the daily-injection GLP-1 that came before semaglutide. It's still prescribed in specific cases — patients who don't tolerate weekly injections, need a shorter half-life, or have a history that suits liraglutide over semaglutide.
From AED 2,999/month
Includes prescription, monthly GP review, baseline + 3-monthly bloods, WhatsApp access.
Where Saxenda still fits
Saxenda's average weight loss (5–8%) is lower than Wegovy (15–17%) or Mounjaro (20–22%). For most patients, weekly injections are simply more effective and more convenient. Saxenda is still worth considering for patients who tolerate liraglutide better, need a shorter drug half-life or want a more granular daily titration.
The dose ladder is 0.6 → 1.2 → 1.8 → 2.4 → 3.0 mg daily, moving up weekly. Because it's daily, side effects can be adjusted week by week rather than waiting seven days for the next injection.
How Aafiyah prescribes
Same pathway as our other GLP-1 prescriptions: free GP call, baseline bloods, eligibility review, prescription, pharmacy delivery. Monthly review, 3-monthly bloods, WhatsApp access to your named GP. Saxenda sits inside the Foundation tier from AED 2,999 per month.
Questions patients ask.
Is Saxenda still relevant now Wegovy is available?+
For most patients, weekly Wegovy or Mounjaro is more effective and more convenient. Saxenda is a valid option for specific clinical situations — your GP will discuss whether it fits your case.
How much weight will I lose on Saxenda?+
Average weight loss in trials is 5–8% of body weight over 12 months — lower than semaglutide or tirzepatide. Individual results vary.
