Can I Take Metformin And Saxenda At The Same Time

They definitely don’t “do the same thing”. I did stop taking metformin on saxenda because i was getting low blood sugar taking both combined, but then my blood sugar was higher and so. At my evaluation visit the doctor started me on metformin extended release to be taken with dinner and saxenda 1. 8mg taken in the morning before breakfast. I’ve been on the metformin. Drug interactions are reported among people who take saxenda (liraglutide recombinant) and metformin (metformin hydrochloride).

There are 270 drugs known to interact with saxenda (liraglutide), along with 5 disease interactions, and 2 alcohol/food interactions. Of the total drug interactions, 15 are major, 249. When a medication works right, it boosts your health or helps you feel better. But a drug can bring on problems if it doesn't mix well with something else you put into your body, like another.
