Questions to ask the prescriber or pharmacist

  1. Which liraglutide product should I be on for my condition, and what is its maximum dose?
  2. After a gap of more than a few days, where should my dose restart and who sets the next steps?
  3. If I take a sulfonylurea or insulin, should that dose change now that liraglutide is in use?
  4. Does my kidney test need repeating after vomiting or diarrhea, and when should it be done?
  5. Who should be told about my planned surgery, and should liraglutide be addressed before it?
  6. Does my Saxenda start date mean a weight check is due, and who will do it?
