Saxenda - has anyone tried it?

[Novice]

um, saxenda has a black box warning. unless you are seriously obese, i don't understand the rationale for taking it.

Do you mind explaining what a “black box” warning is/means?

Nop, i not tried it but once i will try

While I despise all of the drug commercials that we have here, I love hearing the side effects. Still waiting for Bleeding from the eyes.
explosive diarrhea is a favorite.

my favourites are anal leakage and sudden death.

a black box warning is what the fda assigns to some prescription drugs - it is a signal that really bad adverse events have occurred in clinical trials, but given how serious the disease is (like, say lung cancer), the risk is considered acceptable. the fda requires that the text be enclosed in a black box (outline).





not sure what the EMA analog is.

my favourites are anal leakage and sudden death.

In that order or the other way around....
Reminds me of a joke I heard.

Whats worse than dying in a public place and shitting yourself in front of everyone?

Not dying.

Ugh, needles really turn me off. I'd rather diet than stick myself daily or even weekly. I agree with czb, the condition has to be serious to be worth the side effects (morbid obesity or T2 diabetes).

I wonder if there are any updates from those posters who were trying this, I'm curious.
