Are you drinking enough?
You really need to drink a lot more water than usual I find.

How long have you been using it?
I’ve only had itching once and it was when I injected close to my belly button. Another poster said they’d experienced the same when I asked about it here. But other than that, no itching.
You’re not supposed to skip days on Saxenda. It’s not like a diet where you can have a day off/cheat day etc. You need to take it consistently
Sounds like it’s working well for you already. Yay!
Okay, no skipping then! I'll follow the scheme as it's been fine so far!Well done sounds like it's working. No don't skip days take it as prescribed for the best results
I have been prescribed it too but there is no supply in the South that I’ve been able to locate and earliest estimate is late March before supplies return to normal. It’s also no cheaper really because as your dose increases so does the price. I started on 0.25 and up to 1.5. Up to 1mg is about 140 euro for a month but after that you have to get two pens one of 1.0mg and one of 0.5mg. So it’s €280 on my last 1.5mg prescription. I’m hoping more companies will manufacturer it now so the price will come down because the demand is unprecedented.My husband was prescribed this by a clinic in Newry. Ozempic. It was £300 for a months supply, we are in Ireland (South). They sent my husband the actual pen, can we get the prescription off them and get it cheaper locally? Or is it not available in Ireland at all? Seems extremely expensive
I've recently switched to Ozempic and have zero side effects but lost a similar amount of weight (11lbs) first week.Has anyone tried both Saxenda and Ozempic - which one would you say is the better one?
How much is Ozempic compared to Sax in England?I've recently switched to Ozempic and have zero side effects but lost a similar amount of weight (11lbs) first week.
I got a deal for 120 for 1 penHow much is Ozempic compared to Sax in England?
How long does the pen last?I got a deal for 120 for 1 pen
Cos you only inject once a week this is gonna last me somewhere between 4-6 weeks.How long does the pen last?
Ozempic in the price range you mention is if someone is on up to 1mg. Once the dose goes higher, two injections are needed to make up the dose so the price goes up. There's no way around that until Wegovy is released.That does seem very expensive for Ozempic which can range from E120 - €170 per month. I'm ecking out my last pen by clicking and lower doses to just maintain losses which I did over christmas.
Before I was on 3mg I used to just save the bit left and use it with the next injection to get the full dose. Now I’m on 3mg I just finish it off with the last dose from the pen. It’s about 3 clicks worth. It would drive me crazy trying to work out the dose every time if I didn’t though so I live on the edge and have that tiny dribble extra with the last dose.what do you so when you don't have enough foe a dose in a pen ? do you so two injections oe just under dose one. I used the rest of ny first pen up today but didn't have enough for 1.8mg so I just finished off the cartridge as far as it would go.
First time the nausea hit me about 12 hours later, immediately after I felt nothingTook my first injection just now, is there anything i should expect or will the symptoms come in the coming days? Can’t remember from the last time I took it (a few years ago).
