Diabetes mellitus (DM) affects 285 million people worldwide. It is assumed that by 2050 this figure will increase to 438 million. Moreover, due to the absence of clinical symptoms, almost half of all cases of type 2 diabetes are diagnosed with a delay of several years. In some countries, the percentage of people who are not aware of their disease reaches 80%. That is why the invention of new, more effective, and faster-acting remedies for diabetes mellitus is topical as never before.
Victoza is a hypoglycemic drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It was developed by the Danish company NOVO NORDISK, a renowned manufacturer of anti-diabetic medicines. It can be used as a monotherapy, in combination with Glibenclamide, Dibetolong, Metformin medications, or if none of the above show effectiveness, with insulin.
The drug has recently appeared on the world market but has already proven its effectiveness not only in the treatment of diabetes but also in the fight against excess weight.
The entrance to the market of Victoza insulin became a real breakthrough in the industry and drew the incredible attention of health care providers and patients. Currently, the remedy is presented in two forms of release:
- Victoza Pens 0.6mg/ml 2×3 ml;
- Victoza Pen 0.6mg/ml 3×3 ml.
Both variants of Victoza are available for purchase on Insulin.Store website at the most beneficial prices on the market. Please note that to make orders with our company, you need a Victoza prescription from your doctor. In the opposite case, we will not be able to ship out your order.

What type of insulin is Victoza?
The therapeutic effect of Victoza is provided by liraglutide, a substance similar in its action to the glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1), which is produced in the human body. Liraglutide replaces GLP-1 deficiency in diabetic patients. By mimicking the action of GLP-1, liraglutide has a positive effect on the functioning of pancreatic cells. It lowers blood sugar levels, slows down the digestion of food, which makes a person feel full. Victoza helps to reduce the amount of fatty tissue and reduce body weight.
The drug is available in the form of a solution, 1 ml of which contains 6 mg of the active ingredient. The solution is placed in a convenient 3 ml syringe pen. Victoza is injected subcutaneously into the abdomen or shoulder area once a day, preferably at the same time. At the beginning of treatment, the dose of the drug is minimal and is 0.6 mg. Within one to two weeks, it is gradually increased to 1.8 mg per day.
What are the possible side effects of Victoza Insulin?
Taking Victoza liraglutide injections may cause the following reaction of the organism to the medication:
From the side of metabolism: often – low blood sugar – hypoglycemia (especially when combined with sulfonylurea derivatives), anorexia, loss of appetite.
From the nervous system: often – headache.
From the digestive system: very often – nausea, diarrhea; often – vomiting, dyspepsia, pain in the upper abdomen, constipation, gastritis, flatulence, bloating, gastroesophageal reflux, belching.
Infections: very common – upper respiratory tract infections.
Allergic reaction: in some cases (0.05%) – angioedema.
Others: less than 1% – reactions from the thyroid gland; 8.6% – the formation of antibodies to liraglutide (did not cause a decrease in efficiency).
As in the case with other medicines, it is crucial for the patient to follow all the instructions given by the doctor, dose, diet, and physical activity recommendations to avoid any complications. If you notice any symptoms of serious side effects, immediately stop using Victoza, inform your health care provider for further instructions, and get medical help right away if needed.
Is Victoza used for weight loss?
Victoza, like some other diabetes medications, is also used for weight loss, as studies show that this drug can reduce appetite.
European scientists have investigated the effects of Victoza on obese patients. The experiment involved 564 overweight patients. They were divided into three groups, each of which was under the supervision of health care providers. All participants in the experiment had to reduce the calorie content of their diet and perform a set of physical exercises. At the same time, patients from the first group took placebo, from the second – the drug Xenical, and from the third – Victoza. After the end of the experiment, it was found that in the third group, weight loss was observed in 75% of the participants. In the first group, 30% of patients were able to lose weight, in the second – 44%. This allows us to talk about Victoza as an effective weight loss drug.
What is the best time to take Victoza for weight loss?
You can use Victoza at any time of the day, one time in 24 hours, but preferably approximately at the same time. However, you should strictly follow the instructions of the doctor and do not use Victoza if it was not prescribed by a health care provider. Victoza is, first of all, a diabetes medication, and uncontrolled or improper usage of the drug may have negative and even life-threatening consequences to your health – risk of low blood sugar levels, heart disease, blurred vision, cancer, kidney problems, etc.
