Saxenda?

Hi all.
Am I right in thinking that GPs can't prescribe saxenda or alternatives? I've asked for a GP appointment today to discuss but thinking of cancelling it as I don't think they can help?

They can refer you to the hospital, but the wait may be long. I waited almost a year for an appointment. I have now been started on saxenda by the hospital. I only started yesterday so too soon to say if it's working, but I now have hope that with this drug and a bit of willpower and monitoring I may be able to shift some of this 10stone plus that I have to lose.

Good luck :)

Thank you. I cancelled the GP appointment as I could see there is a shortage of saxenda at the minute.

Hope it's going well for you.
