Titrating Victoza & Starting Dose:

3

▪ Sensitive patients:

- Start and stay at 0.6mg (monitor for weight loss)

- Titration is based off of how much you lose & symptoms

▪ Normal patients:

- Start with 0.6mg x7 days then increase to 1.2mg per day (injection)

- Titration is based off of how much you lose

- Do not exceed 3.0mg (special consideration for Saxenda)

Symptoms to watch out for

Symptoms during your titration:

4

▪ Symptoms you may be getting “too much”

- Extreme nausea or vomiting, some nausea is okay

▪ When to stop your titration:

- Any symptoms that reduce quality of life (vomiting, etc.)

▪ Symptoms don’t necessarily mean you need to stop titration, instead slow it down or back down on your dose

▪ Increase dose ONLY when you hit a weight loss plateau

▪ Continue using Victoza or other GLP-1 agonists for 3-4 months AFTER you reach target weight

Lab tests & how to tell if it’s working

Labs:

5

▪ Check insulin & leptin during therapy▪ Leptin may spike even if you lose weight and this is okay▪ Monitor thyroid function during weight loss (you may need

less thyroid hormone over time)

Price Ways to get Victoza cheaper:

6

▪ Victoza is expensive & Insurance doesn’t like to cover it

▪ Call insurance and ask which GLP-1 agonist they like (or symlin) -> use that one

▪ Try coupon codes online (google victoza coupon code) -> works for some people making it $25 per month

▪ Use covermymeds.com (prior authorization)

▪ Consider purchasing from Canadian pharmacy with prescription

▪ Consider other medications temporarily: rx for metformin + glipizide usually works

Victoza + Other medications

Using Victoza with other medications:

7

▪ For best results should be used with thyroid hormone (T3 or NDT)

▪ Can be combined with metformin safely (caution if using with insulin)

▪ Can be safely used with supplements, with fasting, with dietary changes, with thyroid hormone and other hormones -> this is how you get the best results
