So... Same old story... 2022 I lost 14kg with saxenda... Lovely side effects of nausea, headache, and the fear I might shit myself frequently... But with a heavy gym habit and calorie counting it worked. And I maintained. Until this summer. I bought a new pen with the idea of restarting in October but only used it a few times then stopped.
As it has been opened and started I knoww.i.shoild throw it away but it seems a waste as they are £50 a throw. Online the longest I can see that it would still be ok to use is 90 days
Does anyone have any experience of using an old pen or should I bite the bullet and restart with a new pen?

Should be ok as long as the liquid is still clear, not past the expiry date printed on pen label and it has been kept in a fridge but it may have lost its potency in keeping you feeling full. I only did it once as a last resort where I wasn't able to use during a month's stay in hospital but it didn't make me sick.

To my mind you'd know in a few days and least you'd be easing yourself back on it.

Thanks, yes it's clear and in date thanks for replying. Seems a shame to waste it...
