Victoza is for type 2 diabetics. It contains the active ingredient liraglutide. When your blood sugar is too high, Victoza helps to lower it. It can be used with or instead of other diabetes medication like metformin. Victoza also slows the journey of food through your stomach, which helps to regulate your diet.
How does Victoza work?
The active ingredient in Victoza is liraglutide. Sugar is extracted from the bloodstream by the hormone insulin which is produced by the pancreas. Liraglutide encourages the production of insulin by the pancreas, resulting in more sugar being removed from your blood. Liraglutide also slows the speed at which you digest food, which means that the sugar from the food is taken in at a slower rate, helping to decrease spikes in your blood sugar levels. This slowing of the digestion process also helps make your brain think that the stomach is full for longer, which helps with healthy eating and weight loss.
What doses of Victoza are there?
The amount of Victoza that you use can vary from person to person. The starting dose is always 0.6 mg once a day, for one week. This dosage can be increased to 1.2 mg once a day under the guidance of our clinician. Our clinician may decide that you need to increase to 1.8 mg of Victoza once a day, if that is what is required to control your blood sugar effectively. You don’t need to worry about getting it wrong when using the pen. The Victoza pen contains 18 mg of liraglutide and is designed so that you can easily choose which dosage you require: 0.6 mg, 1.2 mg, or 1.8 mg. Always follow our clinician’s instructions with it.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body.

How to take Victoza injections
Pull off the pen cap and attach a new disposable needle. Use a new needle for each injection.
Pull off the outer and inner needle caps, and keep the outer one for later.
Choose the correct dosage using the dose selector.
Hold the pen with the needle pointing upwards and tap it a few times with your finger to move any air bubbles to the top of the cartridge.
Insert the needle into your skin and push down on the dose button until the pointer lines up with 0 mg.
Keep the dose button pressed down and leave the needle under the skin for six seconds in order to make sure all the drops of liquid have been injected.
Pull out the needle (you may see some liquid at the needle tip – this is normal).
Put the outer cap back on the needle and then unscrew the needle.
Dispose of the needle carefully and put the pen cap back on.
It’s recommended that you use Victoza at a similar time each day.
How long does it take for Victoza to work?
You should notice a reduction in your blood sugar levels within a few hours of using Victoza. It’s important to use the treatment every day to experience the benefits of better control of your blood sugar.
What should I do if I make a mistake when taking Victoza?
If you forget to take a dose of Victoza but less than 12 hours have passed, take the dose as usual as soon as you remember.
If you’ve forgotten a dose of Victoza but it’s been more than 12 hours since your last dose, skip the dose for that day and continue to take Victoza the following day as usual.
If you use more Victoza than you’ve been prescribed, you should seek medical attention immediately. You may experience nausea and low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) which must be treated as soon as possible. Signs of low blood sugar include but are not restricted to: clamminess, pale skin, shaking, and feeling light-headed.

And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body.

FAQ: Victoza
Have something specific you want to know? Search our info below, or ask our experts a question if you can’t find what you’re looking for.
How is Victoza different from other treatments for Type 2 diabetes?
Answer:
Victoza is not an insulin injection and instead works to increase the production of insulin by the pancreas. This increases the uptake of sugar from the bloodstream and therefore lowers your blood sugar levels.
Other treatments for type 2 diabetes come in tablet form and increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin rather than boosting insulin output by the pancreas.
Are Victoza injections similar to any other treatments?
Answer:
There are other treatments for type 2 diabetes available in injection form but these contain different ingredients to Victoza.
Victoza is very similar to Saxenda which is licensed for use as a weight-loss treatment, as they both have the same active ingredient.
Victoza has been clinically proven to significantly reduce HbA1c within six months of starting treatment
Which dose of Victoza should I use?
Answer:
The pen is designed so that you’re able to administer one of three different doses: 0.6 mg, 1.2 mg, or 1.8 mg. You’ll usually begin treatment using the 0.6 mg dose but this might be increased by our clinician. The dose you use must be the one decided on by our clinician.
Do I need a prescription for Victoza injections?
Answer:
Yes, you need a prescription for Victoza injections as the dosage will need to be decided by our clinician. It’s important that type 2 diabetes is closely monitored by professionals so that you receive the most effective treatment to regulate your blood sugar levels.
Why should I buy Victoza injections online with Treated?
