Once-daily injection
The Saxenda® tracker app
Saxenda (liraglutide 3 mg) is a once-daily GLP-1 injection by Novo Nordisk. A daily schedule means more logging, more sites to rotate and more chances to forget — DoseDash turns it into a two-second habit.

The quick answer
Daily injections live or die by routine — and that's what a tracker is for. DoseDash gives Saxenda users a one-tap daily log, streak view, injection-site rotation and reminders at your chosen time, free on iPhone.

What if you miss a Saxenda dose?
Per the official prescribing information: if you miss a Saxenda dose, take it as soon as you remember that same day, then resume your normal once-daily schedule. Don't take an extra dose or increase the dose to make up for it. If you miss 3 or more days in a row, contact your prescriber — they may restart you at 0.6 mg to reduce side effects.

Start tracking Saxenda in 3 steps
- 1Download DoseDash free on the App Store and pick Saxenda from 30+ supported GLP-1 medications.
- 2Set your dose day and current dose — reminders and the level chart configure themselves.
- 3Log each dose in one tap, add side effects and meals as they happen, and watch your trends build within the first week.
Why not just use a notes app?
Notes capture what happened; a tracker shows what it means. Where a note says “injected Tuesday, felt queasy Thursday,” DoseDash charts the estimated liraglutide level between doses, lines your side effects up against it, reminds you before your next dose is due, and turns months of entries into a report your care team can read in seconds.
Saxenda tracking FAQ
Is there a free app to track Saxenda?
Yes — DoseDash is free to download and makes daily Saxenda logging a one-tap habit, with reminders, streaks and site rotation included.
What if I miss a Saxenda dose?
Take it the same day if you remember in time; otherwise skip it and continue your normal schedule the next day — never double up. If you've missed 3+ days, call your prescriber, since they may restart your titration. DoseDash's streak view makes gaps obvious at a glance.
How is Saxenda different from weekly GLP-1s for tracking?
Liraglutide's half-life is about 13 hours, so levels reset daily rather than building across a week. Daily consistency matters more than dose-day timing — which is why DoseDash emphasizes streaks and same-time reminders for Saxenda.
Where should I inject Saxenda?
Abdomen, thigh or upper arm, rotating sites daily. With 7 injections a week, rotation matters more than with weekly meds — DoseDash's body map keeps it effortless.
Can I track a daily and a weekly medication together?
Yes. DoseDash supports custom schedules, so your plan can match exactly what you're prescribed — including transitions between medications.
What should I log daily on Saxenda?
Your dose and site, any nausea or other symptoms, water intake and weight a few times a week. DoseDash turns those logs into trends your care team can actually use.
