Buy Saxenda
Saxenda can be purchased only after you get a prescription from a doctor. Certain medications are only available by prescription for a reason, as they may involve side effects that require the guidance of a physician during use. Saxenda is an unprecedentedly effective medicine for losing weight. Therefore, there is increasing demand for this weight-loss method with injections.
Can I also order Saxenda without a prescription?
Ordering Saxenda without a prescription is prohibited. There are online web shops that sell Saxenda without a prescription. However, these web shops ask, either to prove a previously obtained prescription before you can buy the drug, or are asked to pay via hard-to-detect payment methods such as crypto. There is then no doctor involved and the authenticity of the drug is not guaranteed, with all its consequences. No medical conditions, contraindications or other issues that may affect the use of Saxenda are asked. The web shops are housed outside the Netherlands and therefore no control by the Dutch government is possible. So be very critical when you want to start this with Saxenda.
Is Saxenda reimbursed by the health insurance company?
If you have received a prescription for Saxenda, this does not mean that the drug will be reimbursed by your health insurance company. Earlier this year, the Netherlands Health Care Institute recommended that Saxenda be the first weight-loss method to be included in the basic health insurance package, but under strict conditions. Unfortunately, few people qualify for this. You can read more about Saxenda reimbursement here.
