Victoza
 

Hi, My doctor wants me to try the new drug Victoza, but I am alarmed by the fact that rats have developed thyroid cancer. Does anyone else feel like a guinea pig?

I suggest that you see the previous post about Victoza over here and no I do not have any issue since I starred it few weeks ago and I always have lower

I am new to this medication as well as recently diagnosed. Has anyone experience any side effects? Are you using the drug in combination with anything else?

There was another thread on Victoza that may offer more info, here is the link. You can also do a tag search on "Victoza" as well.

I have been on Victoza for almost 9 months now. I started out with minor nausea, but it was NOTHING compared to what I experienced with Byetta! I nvwr get those horrible lows anymore either The other "side effect" I have experienced is weight loss! I can't complain!! I have hypothyroidism, and so far this medication has not affected my thyroid at all. I do take this with 5mg of Glyburide, morning and night. In three months time, my A1c went from 8.4 to 7.9! That is HUGE for me!! Good luck to all!!

I had a big problem with Victoza. Even though I didn't suffer much from the most common side affects(nausea, vomiting, constipation), I couldn't stay with Victoza. It increased my resting heart rate by 20-30 beats. I suggest you read the users' comments at

You may then decide if Victoza is worth trying.
