Saxenda

Novo Nordisk's brand name for liraglutide approved for weight management, taken as a daily injection. It's an older GLP-1 that generally delivers less weight loss than the newer weekly drugs and requires injecting every day. It still appears in some provider line-ups, sometimes as a fallback when newer options aren't covered or tolerated.
