❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this pack suitable for someone just starting Victoza?
A: Yes, this starter pack is ideal for new users and includes both pens and compatible needles for immediate use.

Q: How long will the starter pack last?
A: Duration depends on your titration schedule, but typically this pack covers the initial 2–4 weeks of therapy.

Q: Can I use Victoza for weight loss alone?
A: While primarily approved for Type 2 diabetes, some healthcare providers may prescribe it off-label for weight loss. Always consult your doctor.

Q: Are Victoza and Ozempic the same?
A: Although Victoza and Ozempic are similar, they contain different ingredients, are given at different doses, and differ in their effectiveness and who can use them. While both have pros and cons, the choice of which is “best” ultimately depends on how well they control your type 2 diabetes.

Q: Who made Victoza?
A: It’s made by Victoza’s manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, but marketed by Teva. Discover the once daily Qsymia for weight management. Qsymia is for adults and children 12-17 in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Q: What is the Victoza Dosage for Weight Loss?
A: The typical starting dose for weight loss is 0.6 mg once daily, injected subcutaneously. This dose is used for the first week to help your body adjust and minimize side effects like nausea. After 7 days, the dose is usually increased to 1.2 mg daily. If additional weight loss or glycemic control is needed and well-tolerated, the dose can be increased to 1.8 mg per day, which is the maximum recommended dose.

While Victoza (liraglutide) is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, it is sometimes prescribed off-label for weight loss. A higher-dose version of the same active ingredient—Saxenda (3.0 mg)—is specifically approved for weight management.

Q: How Often Is Victoza Taken?
A: This medicine taken once daily, at any time of day, with or without food. The injection is administered subcutaneously (under the skin), typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

It’s important to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your body. The frequency does not change based on dosage—whether you’re taking 0.6 mg, 1.2 mg, or 1.8 mg, it is still a once-daily medication.
