To my knowledge, there is no clear data on the contraindications of the use of Saxenda for any elimination diet, as long as it is well balanced, does not lead to a deficiency or does not cause a harmful effect in a person. However, I think it is worth talking about it with the attending physician in the context of the control of relevant parameters in routine tests (e.g. kidney function, lipid profile). For most patients, this is a kind of "emergency mode" for a while, so it's also worth talking about whether you actually want to be on keto or maybe low carb, if actually keto, then how to safely "get out of the ketosis state". The ketogenic diet is very difficult and much depends on the individual situation of the patient.
