How do I increase my dose of Saxenda® (Liraglutide)?

You increase your dose of Saxenda over time using the same Saxenda pen until you reach the 3.0 mg dose.  Unless directed otherwise by your healthcare provider, you will typically follow this dosing schedule: 

  • 0.6 mg daily for week 1 
  • 1.2 mg daily for week 2
  • 1.8 mg daily for week 3
  • 2.4 mg daily for week 4
  • 3.0 mg daily for week 5 and going forward
