Is there a generic of Victoza?

Victoza is a brand-name prescription medicine. According to current patent data, a generic version of liraglutide could be approved by the FDA and sold in the U.S. as early as 2023 or 2024.

What is Victoza?

Victoza is a prescription drug used to treat Type 2 diabetes. It is also approved to reduce the risk of complications from heart disease in people with Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. By controlling blood sugar levels, Victoza could help decrease the risk of kidney damage, nerve damage, heart attacks, strokes, and other complications from diabetes. 

Victoza contains liraglutide, which is part of a group of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists. It works similarly to human GLP-1, which is naturally produced by the body. Liraglutide helps stimulate insulin release from the pancreas and decreases the amount of blood sugar that the liver produces. It can also help slow the movement of food during digestion to prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar levels. 

Victoza is available as an injectable medication. It is usually used once daily. 

What doses of Victoza are available?

Victoza comes as a pre-filled injection pen that contains 6 mg/mL solution. A pre-filled pen can deliver a dose of 0.6 mg, 1.2 mg, or 1.8 mg. After cleaning the injection site, Victoza can be injected into the stomach, thigh, or upper arm. You should use a different injection site daily to avoid irritation and problems underneath the skin.

Victoza can be administered with or without a meal. If you are using another insulin pen, you may inject both medications in the same area of the body but not at the same injection site.

Victoza is safe for children aged 10 years and older as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Always follow your healthcare provider's medical advice before using Victoza. Your healthcare provider may initially prescribe a low dose of Victoza and gradually increase the dosage, depending on your medical condition and response to treatment. You should follow an appropriate diet and exercise program for maximum blood sugar control.

How long can you keep Victoza?

All unused Victoza pens should be stored in a refrigerator. After the first use, pens can be stored in a refrigerator or at room temperature. All pens that have been used should be thrown away after 30 days regardless of whether they still have some amount of drug left in them. 

What are the side effects of Victoza?

You may experience gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, upset stomach, vomiting, or constipation after starting treatment with Victoza. However, these side effects should go away as you continue using the medication. Other side effects may include decreased appetite and headaches. If these side effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor immediately. 

Serious side effects of Victoza include inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), kidney problems (kidney failure), gallbladder problems, and serious allergic reactions. You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, such as a rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.

Victoza has been reported to cause thyroid tumors in mice and rats, but it's unknown whether thyroid problems can develop in humans. Discuss your family's history of thyroid cancer (medullary thyroid carcinoma) or other inherited diseases (such as multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2) with your healthcare provider. Symptoms of thyroid tumors include hoarseness, growths or lumps in the neck, difficulty swallowing, and shortness of breath.

This is not a complete list of side effects. Consult with a healthcare provider about other possible side effects, precautions, and warnings before using Victoza. 

What are potential interactions with Victoza?

There may be an increased risk of low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) when Victoza is taken with other Type 2 diabetes medications, such as sulfonylureas and insulin. Low blood sugar may also be triggered by other events, such as drinking alcohol or engaging in strenuous exercise. If you experience a fluctuation in blood sugar levels, your doctor may need to adjust your dosage of Victoza.

Victoza may also delay the emptying of your stomach or the amount of time it takes for food and substances to travel through the gastrointestinal tract. Taking Victoza may affect the absorption of oral medications. Tell your healthcare provider about other medications you may be taking, such as prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, or herbal supplements. 

Is Victoza used for weight loss?

Some possible side effects of Victoza include decreased appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea. Some weight loss is possible, especially when you first start taking Victoza. However, Victoza is prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes—not weight loss. A higher dose of liraglutide has been FDA-approved for weight loss and marketed under the brand name Saxenda.

What is similar to Victoza?

Other GLP-1 agonists that work similarly to Victoza are available. Victoza alternatives include Trulicity (dulaglutide), Bydureon (exenatide), and Ozempic (semaglutide). These GLP-1 agonists may be as effective as Victoza for treating Type 2 diabetes. However, these GLP-1 agonists may be expensive since they may only be available as brand-name drugs. Other diabetes medications are available, such as metformin and sulfonylureas. In some cases, insulin may be prescribed to help control blood sugar levels. Your doctor will help you determine the best treatment option for you.

What is a cheaper alternative to Victoza?

Other GLP-1 agonists are available as alternatives to Victoza. However, they may still be expensive as brand-name drugs. Cheaper alternatives may include metformin and sulfonylurea drugs, which are available as generic drugs. Generic drugs are usually cheaper than their brand-name counterparts. 

How much is Victoza per month?

Victoza is an expensive medication that costs $1,465.03 for 3, 3ML of 18MG/3ML Pen of Victoza. How long a pen lasts will depend on the dosage you are prescribed. For example, with a dosage of 0.6 mg per day, a pen could last for 30 days. On the other hand, with a dosage of 1.8 mg per day, a pen could last for 10 days. With a higher dosage, you may need more pens to cover your treatment for a month. 

Which insurance companies cover Victoza?

Most health insurance companies will help cover the cost of Victoza. Victoza is also covered by many Medicare and Medicaid plans. If your health plan does not cover Victoza, ask your healthcare provider about similar diabetes medications that are covered. Trulicity and Bydureon are most similar to Victoza and they may be available at a more affordable price than Victoza.
