I have been on Victoza for awhile. I had some gastrointestinal problems, they were mild so I stuck it out. It's a great medicine and works great and really helped my numbers out. I can not miss a dose or I am very sick when I take it again. I had the flu and missed 3 doses of, started back on a lower dose and had more problems this time around. I didn't want to give up so my doctor had me start on 5 clicks and up my dose little by little every week. It has worked out great but can't get above 0.6 right now, the dose I need is 1.2. Getting very frustrated withe bloating and nausea

Regarding needle use. Is it necessary to use a new needle everyday?

Yes, the same with finger prick needles as well.

I was put on Victoza 03/20/13 and started with the 0.06 dose on 03/21/13. A few days into it I saw one of those "are you using this medication" lawyers commercial on TV. It was enough for me to question it and I stopped taking it.

Is anyone using both Victoza and Glyburide? What's your experience?

From what I've read this drug (victoza) is not suppose to be used as a main drug but a drug to work along side a main drug lik Metformin or Janumet. I've also read it causes cancer. I'm not any type of doctor, just did a search out of curiosity on the net for what it's worth.

I've been Victoza since Sept 2012 and its worked well for me. I was fine the first week at the lowest dose but had problems when I upped the dose to 1.2. So I went back to the .6 for a week. I've had no problems since then and have lost ~20 lbs. My last two A1Cs have been 6.2 and 6.3, down from 7.5. I also take 2mg of glimepiride and 32u of Lantus every day. I was on 2000 mg of Metformin daily but it didn't work for me.

I've been using Victoza for about two years and it is the only thing that works to keep my blood sugars down. I'm also on 1000mg of Metformin, 30u of Lantus and 15u of Humalog a day. I'm hoping to get off of the Humalog soon.

My endo prescribed Victoza. It increased my resting heart rate by 20-30 beats. My cardio ordered me off.
