Victoza (liraglutide) 6mgs/ml Domestic

Description

Victoza is a prescription medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. The active ingredient in Victoza is liraglutide, which is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It works by mimicking the effects of the naturally occurring hormone GLP-1, which stimulates insulin secretion and reduces glucose production in the liver. This leads to lower blood sugar levels and improved glycemic control. In addition, Victoza may also promote weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing stomach emptying. It is typically administered as a once-daily injection under the skin, either in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm.
