Victoza contains the active drug liraglutide, which belongs to a
class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists, or
GLP-1. It is prescribed as a liquid solution in a multi-dose,
prefilled pen.
Liraglutide can also be found in Saxenda. The Food and Drug
Administration approved Victoza in 2010 for adults with type 2
diabetes and extended approval to include use in children ages
ten years and older with type 2 diabetes in 2019. It is the
first non-insulin drug approved since 2010 for use in children
with type 2 diabetes.
VictozaŽ Dosing Information
The initial dose of 0.6 mg subcutaneously once daily for one
week to reduce gastrointestinal symptoms. Note that this is not
an effective dose for glycemic control. After the first week,
the dose should be increased to 1.2 mg subcutaneously once
daily. If needed, the dose may be increased to 1.8 mg
subcutaneously once daily.
Follow the dosing and administration directions on your
prescription label, medication guide, and instruction sheet.
Please speak to your doctor or pharmacist with any questions or
concerns. Victoza is a prefilled injection pen injected under
the skin with or without food. Victoza should be injected into a
different place each time it is administered. Do not change your
dose or medication schedule without discussing it with your
physician.
Store unopened injection pens in the refrigerator, and do not
freeze Victoza. If it should become frozen, discard the
medication. After your first use, you may keep in-use pens in
the refrigerator or at room temperature and use them within
thirty days.
