A Saxenda tracker is a record of each day's injection and anything that followed it, kept somewhere more reliable than memory. Saxenda is injected once daily, so the useful record is less about a single date and more about a run of days held together. Veya records what you enter and nothing else, and it is not a substitute for the advice of the prescriber managing your treatment.
Why Saxenda users track
A once-daily injection does not have the problem a weekly one has: nobody forgets which day it is. What it has instead is two quieter problems, and they are the reason a daily habit is worth recording rather than just doing.
Keeping a daily habit going is its own challenge
A once-a-week medicine gets noticed because it is unusual; a once-a-day one blends into the background of an ordinary week, and that is precisely what makes a gap easy to lose track of. Was Tuesday missed, or just not remembered?
A daily entry, even a one-line one, turns 'I think I've kept it up' into something you can actually check.
There is no weekly cycle to measure a symptom against
With a weekly injection, a symptom that turns up two days after each dose is easy to spot as a pattern. With a daily one there is no gap to measure from, so telling a genuine side effect apart from an ordinary bad day is harder, not easier.
The only way to make that distinction is a running record: what you noticed, on which day, and how that compares with the days around it rather than with a single injection.
A change to your treatment still needs a before and after
Treatment gets reviewed and sometimes adjusted. Knowing what was different before a change and after it depends on a record that was already running when the change happened, not one started because something felt off.
A plain daily log kept from the start is worth more than a detailed one begun the week a problem appeared.
How Veya tracks your Saxenda
- Injection logA daily entry with the site you used, so a run of consecutive days is something you can see rather than something you have to trust yourself to remember.
- Symptom and side-effect notesWhat you noticed and on which day, sitting on the same timeline as your injections so a genuine pattern can be told apart from an ordinary day.
- Weight and measurement entriesRecorded when you choose to record them, at whatever interval suits you and your prescriber. Veya stores the numbers you enter and plots them over time.
- Appointment preparationYour recent entries pulled together into something you can read from or hand over, so the conversation starts from a record instead of a rough recollection.
- Reminders you setA daily prompt on whatever schedule you choose, for whatever you have decided to record. Veya reminds you to make an entry; it has no view on your treatment itself.
- CSV exportYour entries out of the app as a CSV file, in normal use and after cancelling. It is your record, and it should read somewhere other than inside Veya.
What to record across a change in your prescription
Treatment is reviewed and adjusted over time. Veya will not tell you what to take, and this page carries no schedule of amounts: that is between you and your prescriber, and it is set out in the patient information supplied with your medicine. What a tracker can do is make the period around a change legible afterwards. These are the entries worth having.
- The date something changed, written down on the day rather than reconstructed later.
- Whether the daily injection continued without a break through the change, or whether a day was missed.
- Any symptom that appeared, disappeared or changed character in the two weeks either side.
- How long each symptom lasted, which usually tells a prescriber more than how bad it felt.
- What you had eaten and drunk on a day a digestive symptom was notably worse.
- The injection site used each day, so a site-specific reaction can be told apart from a general one.
- Anything else that changed at the same time: a new medicine, an illness, travel, a different sleep pattern.
- The questions you want to ask at your next appointment, written down when they occur to you.

Read from the EMA summary of product characteristics for Saxenda, sections 1, 2, 4.2 and 5.1, on 11 September 2026. Product information is reissued when a variation is approved. Always follow the patient information leaflet supplied with your own medicine, and speak to your prescriber or pharmacist about anything concerning your treatment.
Does Veya tell me what dose to take?
No, and it will not. Veya records what you enter. Decisions about your treatment belong to you and the prescriber who looks after it, and the patient information supplied with your medicine is the place to look for how it should be taken.
Is a daily injection harder to keep track of than a weekly one?
In a different way. A weekly injection is easy to lose the exact date of; a daily one is easy to lose count of over a longer run. A daily entry addresses the second problem directly.
What happens to my entries if I stop paying?
CSV export works in normal use and after cancelling. Your record is exportable as a file you keep, rather than something that becomes unreadable when a subscription ends.
Can I still make an entry if I missed a day?
Yes. You record what actually happened, including a day that was missed. A gap in the record is itself useful information rather than something to hide.
Is Veya connected to Novo Nordisk?
No. Veya is provider-neutral and independent. It does not sell, supply or prescribe medication, and it is not affiliated with any manufacturer. Saxenda is named here to identify the medicine this page is about.
Do I have to log something at the exact same time every day?
No. Saxenda can be injected at any time, independent of meals, and your entries follow whatever time you actually inject rather than requiring a fixed slot.
Can I print my history for an appointment?
Yes. Entries export as a CSV file, which opens in a spreadsheet and prints. Handing over a printed sheet is often quicker than passing a phone across a desk.
