A member asked:
Can someone with pcod and gastro issues like irritable bowel syndrome constipation take saxenda for weight loss? or is it risky business cause ive read it slows down metabolism?

You have underlying problem, PCOS, which could be the reason for overweight so PCOS treatment + diet & exercise should be the mainstay for weight loss treatment in your case, not using saxenda. In the other hand, I do not think this medication is absolutely contraindicated with your underlying conditions.
