Like Saxenda, Victoza is an injectable medication used for weight management in adults and adolescents. It contains liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. Liraglutide works by regulating appetite and caloric intake, leading to weight loss.

Composition:

• Liraglutide: The active ingredient miming the GLP-1 hormone, helping regulate appetite and food intake.

Key Uses:

• Weight Management: Victoza is used for chronic weight management in adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity) or 27 kg/m² or greater (overweight) with at least one weight-related condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia. It is also approved for use in adolescents aged 12-17 with a BMI corresponding to ≥30 kg/m² for adults and a body weight above 60 kg.

Administration and Dosage:

• Subcutaneous Injection: Administered once daily by subcutaneous injection in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
• Dosage: The starting dose is 0.6 mg per day for one week. The dose is then increased weekly in increments of 0.6 mg until the maintenance dose of 3.0 mg per day is reached. If the patient cannot tolerate the maintenance dose, discontinuation of treatment is recommended.

The most common side effects of this medicine include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, indigestion, and constipation. It can also lead to low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) especially if you are also taking other medicines like insulin or sulphonylureas for treatment of diabetes. To prevent this, it is important to have regular meals and always carry a fast-acting source of glucose such as sugary candy or glucose candy with you.

Before using it, let your doctor know if you have any pancreas or stomach problems or severe dehydration (loss of body water), or diabetic ketoacidosis (a complication of diabetes characterized by too much acid and ketones in your blood). This medicine may not be suitable. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before using this medicine. If you experience blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness due to extremely low or high blood sugar, do not drive, use machinery or do any activity that requires alertness or clear vision until you are sure you can do them safely.
