"Treatment with 1.2 mg of Victoza per day leads to an average weight loss of 2.1 kg (4.6 lbs.) after one year. Treatment with 1.8 mg of Victoza per day leads to an average weight loss of 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs.) after one year. Saxenda is FDA-approved to help people lose weight."

"This medication is used to improve blood sugar levels in adults and children with type 2 diabetes. It starts to lower blood sugar levels in as little as 2 weeks, lowers A1C, and keeps it down."

"Liraglutide, the active ingredient in Victoza, helps you lose weight by making your body release insulin every time blood sugar levels rise. The medication also slows down the process of the stomach emptying after you eat, which makes you feel full for longer."

"The medications Metformin and Victoza are used to treat type 2 diabetes. Metformin can also be used to treat conditions such as polycystic ovaries and weight gain that are caused by other medications used to treat mental disorders. Metformin is a pill taken orally, while Victoza is given as an injection under the skin (subcutaneously)."

"Treatment for type 2 diabetes can include the use of Metformin and Victoza, which are both medications that work in different ways to control blood sugar levels. Metformin is a pill taken orally, while Victoza is a injection given subcutaneously, or just under the skin. Both drugs can be effective in managing diabetes, but may have different side effects."

"Liraglutide is an injection used to help control blood sugar levels in adults and children 10+ with type 2 diabetes. It is usually combined with a diet and exercise program. Other diabetes medications may be used as well."

"Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group, has petitioned the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to remove Victoza (liraglutide) from the market. They allege that the drug's side effects—higher risks of thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, serious allergic reactions, and kidney failure—outweigh any of its documented clinical benefits."
