Saxenda<\/span><\/a> (liraglutide) is a brand-name prescription medication that\u2019s prescribed for chronic weight management along with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise. It\u2019s a medication in the <\/span>glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist<\/span><\/a> (GLP-1) group of drugs, similar to <\/span>Wegovy<\/span><\/a> (semaglutide) and <\/span>Zepbound<\/span><\/a> (tirzepatide), which are also used for weight management.\u00a0<\/span>GLP-1 injections tend to carry a considerable monthly cost without insurance. On average, Saxenda can cost $1,899 for 5, 18 mg\/3 mL 3 mL pens, a monthly supply. That can amount to more than $22,000 in medication costs per year. For this reason, many may look for more affordable options, such as looking into generic versions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there a generic for Saxenda?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, there is a generic for Saxenda, generic <\/span>liraglutide for weight management<\/span><\/a>. However, there are two forms of generic liraglutide, approved for different indications. As of August 2025, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) <\/span>approved generic liraglutide injections for weight management<\/span><\/a>, the same active ingredient as in brand-name Saxenda. It\u2019s the first generic GLP-1 drug available for weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before this approval, generic liraglutide was only <\/span>approved to treat people with Type 2 diabetes<\/span><\/a>, as a generic version of brand-name <\/span>Victoza<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

RELATED: <\/b>Victoza vs. Saxenda<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference between Saxenda and liraglutide?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Saxenda and generic liraglutide are very similar. <\/span>Sameer Murali<\/span><\/a>, MD, Medical Director of Obesity Medicine at Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston, Texas, explains that patients should expect a \u201cnearly identical effectiveness and safety profile compared to the name brand.\u201d They both come in the same forms and dosages, they\u2019re taken the same way, and they both contain the same active ingredient, liraglutide.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saxenda and generic liraglutide for weight management are available in prefilled pens with 18 mg per 3 mL that can be dosed at 0.6 mg, 1.2 mg, 1.8 mg, 2.4 mg, or 3 mg. Patients take Saxenda and generic liraglutide the same way: a once-daily injection in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Saxenda and its generic version work the same way in the body. Liraglutide helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which is involved in digestion and satiety. While <\/span>generic medications<\/span><\/a> don\u2019t go through the same full series of clinical trials as brand-name drugs, the FDA requires them to still meet strict standards for <\/span>bioequivalence<\/span><\/a>. This means generic medications must deliver the same active ingredient in the same amount and work the same way in the body. \u201cFor medications like liraglutide, this ensures that the clinical effects, including weight reduction and gastrointestinal side effects, should be essentially identical,\u201d says <\/span>Michael Genovese<\/span><\/a>, MD, chief medical adviser at <\/span>AscendantNY<\/span><\/a> in New York City.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One major difference between the two is the cost. As mentioned above, Saxenda costs an average of $1,899 for 5, 18 mg\/3 mL pens without insurance. Generic liraglutide for weight management costs slightly less, on average $1,700 for 5, 18 mg\/3 mL pens without insurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another difference between Saxenda and generic liraglutide is what they\u2019re approved to treat. Saxenda is specifically approved for chronic weight management alongside diet and exercise. However, there are two different <\/span>generic liraglutide<\/span><\/a> products that are approved for different indications. The generic version of Saxenda, which is approved for weight loss, is simply referred to as liraglutide for weight management. The other is the generic version of Victoza, simply called liraglutide, for <\/span>managing Type 2 diabetes<\/span><\/a>. The main difference is their dosage, as the maintenance dose of Victoza (liraglutide)\u00a0 is typically 3, <\/span>18 mg\/3 mL pens per month<\/span>, while the maintenance dose of Saxenda (liraglutide for weight management) is 5, <\/span>18 mg\/3 mL pens per month<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to save on generic liraglutide<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although generic medications can be up to 85% cheaper than their brand-name versions, the cost of generic liraglutide isn\u2019t much different from the cost of Saxenda. However, there are <\/span>ways to save on the full cost of Saxenda<\/span><\/a> and generic liraglutide.<\/span><\/p>\n

One way to save is to use a prescription discount coupon like SingleCare. A <\/span>SingleCare coupon<\/span><\/a> is free, and it can save you up to 70% on generic liraglutide for weight management. A one-month supply of generic liraglutide for weight management can go from $1,700 to $496 for 5, 18 mg\/3 mL pens with a SingleCare coupon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To get a SingleCare coupon, find your prescribed medication on the SingleCare website and choose the pharmacy you want to use it at. SingleCare coupons are accepted at most retail pharmacies, including Walgreens, CVS, and Publix pharmacies. Show your SingleCare coupon to the pharmacist when you\u2019re collecting your prescription to save.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another way to save on generic liraglutide is to check whether your insurance plan covers it. While <\/span>insurance coverage for Saxenda<\/span><\/a> can vary and often requires <\/span>prior authorization<\/span><\/a>, insurance plans are generally more likely to cover the generic version of a drug over the brand-name. Many insurance companies categorize Saxenda as Tier 3, requiring prior authorization, co-payment, or cost-sharing. Despite this, keep in mind that \u201cmany plans still restrict weight management medications overall,\u201d Dr. Genovese says. For example, Medicare and Medicaid plans may not cover any medications when prescribed for weight loss, explains Dr. Murali. \u201cThis is a statutory ban that was placed on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2003 called the <\/span>Medicare Modernization Act<\/span><\/a>,\u201d he explains. Medicaid coverage varies by state.<\/span><\/p>\n

People looking to save on liraglutide may come across compounded liraglutide. Because Saxenda and Victoza have been on the <\/span>FDA\u2019s drug shortage list since 2023<\/span><\/a>, compounding pharmacies have been <\/span>permitted to create their own compounded liraglutide<\/span><\/a> to help fill the supply gap for patients who need liraglutide regularly. While <\/span>compounded forms of GLP-1 drugs<\/span><\/a> can be less expensive, they\u2019re not FDA approved like generic versions produced by licensed pharmaceutical manufacturers. \u201cThe variability among compounded products is significant, and patients cannot expect the same safety, efficacy, and bioavailability from compounded products as compounding pharmacies do not have to submit their products for regulatory evaluation and approval,\u201d Dr. Murali says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWork with a clinician to identify the safest and most financially sustainable therapy rather than resorting to unregulated compounds,\u201d Dr. Genovese advises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bottom line<\/span><\/h2>\n

Saxenda, a daily GLP-1 injection for weight loss, is available in a generic form, liraglutide for weight management. Both contain the same active ingredient and are used the same way, though the generic is typically more affordable, especially when combined with prescription discount coupons. Using a <\/span>SingleCare coupon<\/span><\/a> for a generic liraglutide prescription for weight loss can save you up to 70% without insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n
