Victoza Liraglutid Pen — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Liraglutide 6 mg/mL solution for injection (prefilled pen 3 mL; total 18 mg)

Liraglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion and reduces inappropriate glucagon release. It also slows gastric emptying and reduces appetite, helping lower blood glucose and support weight loss.

Subcutaneous injection once daily at the same time each day, independent of meals. Inject into abdomen, thigh, or upper arm; rotate sites and do not inject intravenously or intramuscularly. Typical titration: start 0.6 mg daily for 1 week, then 1.2 mg daily; may increase to 1.8 mg daily if needed (as directed by doctor). Use a new needle each time and follow pen instructions.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
