How much Saxenda costs in the UK and how it compares with weekly GLP-1 injections.

How much does Saxenda cost in the UK?

Saxenda (liraglutide) is a daily injection and typically costs around £150–£220 per month at UK pharmacies. Because it is taken daily rather than weekly, some patients prefer a weekly GLP-1 such as Wegovy or Mounjaro.
