Saxenda Pen: Step-by-Step Injection

You’re holding your new Saxenda pen and the instructions feel thin. The full Saxenda injection step‑by‑step — the exact grip, the site rotation, and the priming trick that saves your dose — is shown here, simple and close‑up. This video reveals the small movements that make the difference between a painful shot and one you barely feel, plus the storage mistake that can ruin a whole pen. Before you press that button, see the three common errors that cause bruising, leaking, or a wasted pen — and exactly how to avoid them. Saxenda (liraglutide) is a once‑daily injection for weight loss, and every step counts. You attach a new needle, prime the pen with a test stream, dial your dose, and hold it steady for six seconds after the click. According to the FDA‑approved Saxenda prescribing information, the needle must remain in the skin for a full six seconds after the injection button is released to deliver the complete dose. You’ll learn how to choose between stomach, thigh, and upper arm — rotating sites each day — and how to handle the pen if you drop it or leave it out too long. By the end, you’ll have a repeatable routine that feels as natural as brushing your teeth, and the one question to ask your doctor if the medication seems to leak out. Your weight‑loss journey starts with one comfortable shot. Let’s get it right together. 0:00 You’ve got the Saxenda pen — now what? 0:30 Needle attachment and priming, the step people skip 1:15 Where to inject: stomach, thigh, arm rotation 2:05 The six‑second hold and why it stops leaking 2:45 Storing your pen so it stays potent 3:10 The one question for your doctor ⚠️ Medical Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.
