Hello - I started Saxenda 3 days ago and it seems to be going well. Just wondering if anyone else has used this and would love to hear about your experience. I have 6 stone to lose so I am pretty desperate! smile

I don't think this post is a scam - Saxenda is prescription only and used by the NHS for those with a lot of weight to lose.

Never heard of it so Googled it. It's an injection available on prescription (I think.)

I googled it and it can be bought on the web. OP is a new poster.

If the OP is genuine I hope she comes back to confirm.

Even though it can be bought off the internet it's still prescription only. You get some sort of instant consultation with an online doctor, who then prescribes it.

It's how many online pharmacies stay within the law.

Why is this reported? It’s a genuine weight loss aid supported by the NHS. Can don’t need GP but you need an assessment by the pharmacist.

If it is prescribed do you have to pay the full fee or just your prescription cost? It’s very expensive.

Hello - I am not a scam - honestly! I got it online from the London Slimming Clinic but I think you can get it from lots of online company's - including Boots. I am sorry if it came across as a scam - I will update you on my weight loss if that helps. I was just hoping to find others for support
