Introduction

Victoza Injection belongs to the class of anti-diabetic drugs, primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in the children above 10 years and adult. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes occurs when a hormone released by the pancreas to lower blood glucose called 'insulin' is secreted but unable to get utilized by our body's cell to produce energy. Victoza Injection contains Liraglutide a recombinant Deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA) which works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas during high blood sugar levels (after meal) and decreases the amount of sugar the liver makes. Victoza Injection also slows stomach emptying time, thereby decreasing appetite and promotes weight loss in an individual.

Uses

Hyperglycemia (you have a high blood sugar level)
Slow down the food passage rate into the stomach
Heart disease.

How to Consume

Victoza 6mg injection will be injected under the skin(subcutaneously), and you should not inject it into the vein or muscle. Your physician will decide the dosage and frequency of this injection based on the severity of your disease and other factors.

Benefits

Victoza Injection treats type 2 diabetes mellitus and contains ‘Liraglutide’. It is a recombinant DNA (rDNA) that mimics the action of a natural hormone called Incretin (metabolic hormone, which stimulates a decrease in blood glucose levels). It works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas during high blood sugar levels (after meal) and decreases the amount of sugar the liver makes. Victoza Injection may be advised with or without other medications along with diet and exercise to control blood sugar levels.
