Conditions
Brief summary
The study is investigating weight loss and treatment patterns associated with the use of Saxenda® in adult patients. The aim of the study is to assess the weight loss associated with Saxenda® in patients with obesity or overweight. Saxenda® was prescribed to participants by study doctor independently of this study. The study will last for about 4 months, where the data will be collected from the available medical records. There will be no additional activities expected from participants in the scope of study because it is a chart-review study.
