What if I experience side effects as I increase my dose of Saxenda (liraglutide)?
If you experience any side effects as you increase your dose of Saxenda®, it is important to contact your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider will determine what dosage you should take and can delay your dose escalation if needed to improve your tolerance of the medication. It is not advised to change or split your dosage without direction from your healthcare provider.
