Can I go back to Saxenda 1.8mg if I have problems with diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain after increasing the dose?
I weigh 120 kg. I have been taking Saxenda for 1.5 months. When I increased the dosage to 2.4, I began to have problems with diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, redness at the injection site. Can I go back to 1.8? I felt good, sometimes nauseous.

Yes, you may consider reverting to the 1.8 mg dose after consulting with your doctor if it has been better tolerated.
The problems you describe, such as diarrhea and nausea, are known as side effects of this drug and may occur at higher doses. It is worth consulting your doctor who will assess whether a temporary reduction in the dose is appropriate or whether it is necessary to gradually adjust the treatment. If symptoms persist, other causes should be ruled out and further treatment discussed.
