First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviewed medical records of 128 teens aged 10-18 with obesity who were prescribed liraglutide (Saxenda) in Sweden. Researchers looked at changes in BMI and metabolic health over time. The goal is to see how the drug performs outside of controlled trials, in everyday clinical practice.
