- Check your medication Check the name and coloured label of your pen to make sure that it contains Saxenda® Pull off the pen cap. Look through the pen window to check that the solution is clear and colourless. If the solution looks cloudy, do not use the pen.
- Attach a new needle Pull off the paper tab from a new needle. Screw the needle straight and tightly onto your Saxenda® pen. Pull off both needle caps – keep the outer needle cap for later.
- Check the flow with each new pen Check the flow before the first injection with each new Saxenda® pen or if the pen is dropped. Hold the pen with the needle pointing up. Turn the dose selector until the ‘flow check’ symbol lines up with the pointer. Press the dose button until 0 mg lines up with the pointer. A drop of Saxenda® should appear at the needle tip.

How Long Does Each Saxenda Pen Last?
We recommend following the manufacturers guidelines when starting Saxenda. Each pen contains 18mg and can be dialled to deliver the following doses: 0.6mg, 1.2mg, 1.8mg, 2.4mg and 3.0mg.
The following dosing schedule should be followed:
- Week 1 – 0.6mg each day
- Week 2 – 1.2mg each day
- Week 3 – 1.8mg each day
- Week 4 – 2.4mg each day
- Week 5 and onwards – 3mg each day
If you are taking Saxenda for the first time, then you will require 3 pens for the first month, and that is when you are likely to see any benefit.
After that, and once you have reached the 3.0mg dose, each pen will last for 6 days. At this point you will need a box of 5 pens every 30 days.
