Quick answers
Do I need a prescription to order Saxenda?
Saxenda is a prescription medicine, so we need a valid prescription from your healthcare provider before your order can be filled. You can upload it at checkout, or you or your doctor can email it to service@canadianinsulin.com or fax it to 1-866-951-0118. If the prescription is missing, your order won’t be processed until we receive it.
What does the price of Saxenda include?
Prices on Canadian Insulin are in US dollars (USD), and the price in the buy box covers one pack of five 3 mL pens, multiplied by the number of packs you choose. Saxenda needs to stay cold, so it ships cold-packed by Express shipping, which is added at checkout and shown before you pay. Orders of fewer than 3 cold items shipped from Canada carry a $50 surcharge, shown before you pay. Ordering 3 or more avoids it.
Which Saxenda strength should I order?
Saxenda is listed in one strength: 6 mg/mL, in a pack of five 3 mL prefilled pens. Your prescriber sets your daily dose, and you set it on the pen, so you don’t need a different product when your dose changes. What you choose in the buy box is the number of packs, which should match the supply on your prescription.
How is Saxenda shipped, and how long does delivery take?
Saxenda ships cold-packed in medical-grade insulated packaging by Express shipping. Orders usually ship within 48–72 hours of processing, or up to 5 business days in peak periods. After your order ships, Express delivery takes 3–5 business days. When it arrives, put the pens in the refrigerator right away.
*Based on Novo Nordisk Saxenda patient information and Pi-Sunyer et al., NEJM 2015. Used with reduced-calorie diet and increased activity. In the 56-week study, 63% achieved at least 5% weight loss vs. 27% with placebo. Individual results vary. Prescription required.

About Saxenda
Saxenda is a liraglutide injection used for chronic weight management together with diet and physical activity. You can buy Saxenda online, view the current Saxenda price, and choose the dose or strength shown during ordering so it matches clinician directions. The medicine is supplied as an injectable pen and should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional.
Saxenda 6 mg/mL refers to the concentration inside the prefilled pen, while Saxenda 3 mg is commonly used to describe the labeled daily maintenance dose after gradual dose increases. Those terms are not interchangeable. Dose changes, missed-dose questions, and treatment goals should be handled with the clinician managing your weight-management plan.
Saxenda Price and Cost: What Your Total Covers
The cost of Saxenda depends on the number of packs you order and shipping. Each pack holds five 3 mL pens at 6 mg/mL, Saxenda is listed with Canada as the country of origin, and all prices are in US dollars (USD).
Because Saxenda must stay cold, it ships cold-packed by Express shipping, added at checkout. Orders of fewer than 3 cold items shipped from Canada carry a $50 surcharge, shown before you pay. Ordering 3 or more avoids it. See our shipping page for full rates and details.

Strengths Available and How They Are Ordered
Saxenda is listed in one strength:
| Strength | Country of origin | Unit |
| 6 mg/mL | Canada | 1 pack of five 3 mL prefilled pens |
Your prescriber decides your daily dose and when it changes, and the dose is set on the pen. When your dose changes, how long a pack lasts may change, so the number of packs you need, and your total, can change with it.
Storage and Handling
Before first use, store Saxenda pens in the refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F). Don’t freeze them, and don’t use a pen that has been frozen. Keep the pen cap on to protect it from light.
After first use, you can keep a pen at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F), or in the refrigerator, for up to 30 days. Remove the needle after each injection. When you travel, carry your pens in your hand luggage, not checked bags.
What Saxenda Is Approved For
Saxenda (liraglutide) is a once-daily GLP-1 receptor agonist injection. Alongside a reduced-calorie diet and more physical activity, it is approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity, adults who are overweight and have at least one weight-related condition, and children aged 12 and older who weigh more than 60 kg (132 lb) and have obesity. Saxenda shouldn’t be used with other medicines that contain liraglutide.
If you’re looking for liraglutide to treat type 2 diabetes, that approval belongs to Victoza. To learn more, read about one patient’s Saxenda journey, and our articles on Farxiga and weight loss and Tresiba and weight.
Saxenda Safety Information
Saxenda has a boxed warning: in animal studies, liraglutide caused thyroid C-cell tumors. It isn’t known whether it causes these tumors in people. Don’t use Saxenda if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), if you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or if you’ve had a serious allergic reaction to liraglutide. Tell your healthcare provider if you notice a lump or swelling in your neck, trouble swallowing, hoarseness or shortness of breath.
The most common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, injection site reactions, headache, low blood sugar, indigestion, tiredness and dizziness. Serious side effects listed on the label include:
- inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
- gallbladder problems
- low blood sugar, especially in people with type 2 diabetes who also take insulin or a sulfonylurea
- an increased heart rate
- kidney problems, which can be linked to dehydration from vomiting or diarrhea
- severe stomach problems
- serious allergic reactions
- food or liquid getting into the lungs during surgery or procedures that use anesthesia
Tell your healthcare provider if you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Get medical help right away for severe stomach pain that won’t go away, with or without vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction. This isn’t a complete list. See the FDA prescribing information for Saxenda for full safety details.
How Saxenda Compares to the Other Weight-Management Medicines We Carry
Saxenda contains liraglutide, a GLP-1 medicine injected once a day. Zepbound contains tirzepatide, which acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors and is injected once a week. Contrave ER is an extended-release tablet that combines naltrexone and bupropion, taken by mouth.
Each has its own approved uses, strengths and label, and they aren’t interchangeable. Your prescriber decides which one fits your treatment. Browse all weight loss medications.

Do I need a prescription for Saxenda?
Yes. Saxenda is a prescription medicine, and we need a valid prescription before your order can be filled. Upload it at checkout, or have your doctor email it to service@canadianinsulin.com or fax it to 1-866-951-0118. If you prefer, we can also contact your clinic to request the prescription.
Why does my Saxenda total change between orders?
Your total depends on the number of packs, the country of origin and shipping, and all prices are in US dollars (USD). If your prescriber changes your dose, you may need more or fewer packs, which changes your total. Orders of fewer than 3 cold items shipped from Canada carry a $50 surcharge, shown before you pay. Ordering 3 or more avoids it.
What happens to my order when my strength changes?
Saxenda comes in one strength, so a dose change doesn’t mean ordering a different product. If your prescriber changes your dose, send us the updated prescription at checkout or by email or fax, and order the number of packs it covers. Your total changes with the number of packs.
Does Saxenda need to be kept cold?
Yes. Before first use, store Saxenda pens in the refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F), and don’t freeze them. After first use, a pen can be kept at room temperature up to 30°C (86°F) or in the refrigerator for up to 30 days. That’s why Saxenda ships cold-packed by Express shipping.
How long does delivery take?
Orders usually ship within 48–72 hours of processing. Saxenda ships cold-packed by Express shipping, which takes 3–5 business days after your order ships. We’ll email you a tracking number when it ships, and extra customs checks can sometimes add time. See our shipping page for full details.
