Saxenda in Thailand

Saxenda is a once-daily injectable medication used to support weight loss in adults struggling with obesity or excess weight. While not as well-known as Ozempic or Wegovy, Saxenda has been available for longer and remains a trusted option — especially for people who prefer a daily routine or cannot tolerate semaglutide-based medications.

This guide will walk you through how to access Saxenda in Thailand, how much it costs, and how it compares to alternatives like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.

What is Saxenda?

Saxenda (liraglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that works by mimicking a hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It’s manufactured by Novo Nordisk — the same company behind Ozempic and Wegovy — and is approved specifically for weight loss, not diabetes.

Unlike Ozempic and Wegovy, Saxenda must be injected daily using a pre-filled pen that allows you to adjust the dose. Treatment typically begins at a low dose (0.6 mg) and increases gradually up to 3.0 mg daily.

Availability of Saxenda in Thailand

Saxenda is widely available across Thailand and can be found in many major hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies in cities like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Pattaya. It’s generally easier to find than Wegovy or Mounjaro, making it a more accessible option for those beginning their weight loss journey.

You don’t always need a prescription to buy Saxenda in Thailand, but due to the daily dosing schedule and potential side effects, it's highly recommended to start under medical supervision. Most hospitals will require a consultation before dispensing Saxenda, especially for new patients.

Saxenda vs Ozempic and Wegovy

All three medications belong to the GLP-1 family and help with weight loss, but there are some key differences:

  • Saxenda uses liraglutide, while Ozempic and Wegovy use semaglutide
  • Saxenda is injected daily, while Ozempic and Wegovy are weekly
  • Wegovy generally results in greater weight loss, but Saxenda is sometimes preferred by patients who want smaller daily doses or who experience side effects from semaglutide

Saxenda may also be preferred if Mounjaro is unavailable, or if a doctor feels liraglutide is more appropriate based on your health profile.

Alternatives to Saxenda in Thailand

If Saxenda isn’t right for you or is out of stock, here are several alternatives available locally:

  • Ozempic – weekly semaglutide injection
  • Wegovy – higher-dose semaglutide, approved for weight loss
  • Mounjaro – dual-acting tirzepatide injection (weekly)
  • Gastric sleeve surgery – a permanent and more aggressive weight loss solution
  • Liposuction – for targeted fat removal and cosmetic shaping

Cost of Saxenda in Thailand

Saxenda is usually sold in packs containing 5 pens, each lasting about 6 days once on the full 3.0 mg daily dose (around one month total per pack). Pricing can vary depending on where you purchase it.

In Thailand, Saxenda typically costs between ฿10,000 and ฿13,000 ($280–$370 USD) for a one-month supply. It’s cheaper than in most Western countries, where it may cost over $1,000/month.

We are clients from Australia and we could not recommend Konkai health anymore!

We are so pleased with the level of service from Pam in helping us organise a surgery for my husband which took place in Thailand.

We had to change a few appointments here and there (life happened on our end) and Pam was all too willing to help with no problems.

Cosmetic Surgery

I made the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery in Bangkok, Thailand due to the high prices in Australia, Unsure about choosing the right hospital and doctors in Thailand, my friend suggested Konkai Medical Tourism Agency, they guided me through everything and their professional team, with strong medical connections in Thailand, made the process smooth.

The surgery went well, and I’m very happy with the results.

I highly recommend Konkai to anyone considering to come to Thailand for medical treatment 👍

Emergency operation and post-surgery checkup

"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.

They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.

Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."

"I will say you made it so easy to get everything scheduled. I expected it to take much longer trying to find doctors waiting on responses etc.  I was happy with the doctor just going ahead and getting it done on the same day as the first procedure.

I would like to share my very good experience with konkai.health as I was searching for a clinic for my cataract surgery. Khun Pam Van Wissen organised me in no time all appointments at Bumrungrad Hospital in Bangkok which has distinguished itself through excellent service. I would like to say thank you to all staff, nurses and especially to Dr. Keerati Pungpapong who all did an absolutely excellent job and I felt from the first moment in best hands. Thank you again Khun Pam from Konkai Health for a great job.

Sex Reassignment Surgery

I am very happy with the results. I cannot thank the people at Asia Cosmetic Hospital enough for their help and service while I was in the hospital and my stay at the hotel. I feel fine with very little if any pain and I am bringing my strength back up to before surgery.  I know it will take many months for everything to heal but right now I feel strong both physical and mentally.

Thank you Konkai for all the work on your part to bring this all together for me. You don’t know what this means to me.
