Victoza (Liraglutide)
Victoza (Liraglutide) is an injectable medication prescribed to adults with type 2 diabetes. It is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that works by stimulating insulin production and reducing glucose levels in the bloodstream. Victoza is also used to lower the risk of major cardiovascular events in people with type 2 diabetes and established heart disease. Additionally, it may help with weight management in some patients.
Why Choose Victoza (Liraglutide)?
Victoza mimics the action of GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. It stimulates insulin production when blood sugar levels are high and reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver. It also slows down digestion, which may help with weight management.
How to use Victoza (Liraglutide)?
Victoza is administered as a subcutaneous injection, typically once daily. The initial dose is usually 0.6 mg per day, which may be increased gradually to a maximum of 1.8 mg per day, depending on the patient’s response and tolerability. The injection can be given at any time of the day, with or without meals. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and the guidelines provided in the medication leaflet.
Important Safety Information Victoza
Before starting Victoza, inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking, as well as any allergies, medical conditions, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Victoza is not recommended for people with a history of pancreatitis or thyroid cancer.
