How long does it take for me to get the first side effects? Do some of them appear after the first administration? If I responded well to metformin, will it be the same with Saxenda?

Saxenda, like any drug, is tested for safety and effectiveness. It may or may not cause side effects. All of them are described in the leaflet attached to the drug for legal and safety reasons. Nausea and vomiting are the most commonly reported. Often side effects are related to dosage and may resolve with continued treatment.
If you have responded well to Metformin, there is a possibility that you will also respond well to Saxenda. It is worth monitoring your well-being and consulting a doctor if you experience any worrying symptoms. If you are unable to consult your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:
