User Reviews for Victoza subcutaneous

I do believe that the drug is helping me to shed someweight. That is great,however,I have been having pain in my abdomen like I'm very nervous. I don't know what else it could be.

At first it worked. My readings went down, but nauseous and sick feeling. No appetite, so I lost weight. Now,fourth month on the drug and my appetite is back, my numbers are back up,no more nausea, and weight is returning. I think it loses its effect on the body. I am on the maximum dose. Symlin had the same history with me and I could not tolerate byetta at the maximum dose. Unfortunately, I am still constipated. The cost is excessive. I doubt I will stay on it after the next Dr. visit. Read More Read Less

Painless injections,great drop in blood sugar levels. Cost may be a problem.

I have been on this about a week. Already lost 5.5 pounds, morning sugars dropped about 50 points (were about 220 each morning).. Still at .6 dose getting ready to increase to 1.2. So far the only problem was nausea, second and third day were worse - much better now. Headache on the third day, but went away. This looks promising!

I had some nausea and rotten egg burps, but it has dropped my morning blood sugar readings from 250 or higher. Now the readings are within range of 90 to 105. I am happy and my doctor is happy. Have lost 27 lbs since May 24, 2010.

Started Victoza 6/16/10. Bgl remained high 300-400. Dr added Lantus insulin on 6/23/10. Numbers started dropping to 150-101 by 6/30/10. On 7/6/10 became dizzy and nasus. Stopped Victoza 7/7 continued Lantus, dr felt is was inner ear virus, went back to Victoza and Lantus and because very dizzy and ill again. Stopped Victoza 7/11/10. Will continue to take Metformin 1000gm am and pm and Lantus if bgl rise. Current fasting bgl after fasting were 118 if they rise will take Lantus no more Victoza for now. Not worth the illness that takes at lease 48 hrs to recover. Will f/u with dr next week.Read More Read Less

on recommendation from MD, started on this med therapy 1x daily, warned about side effects most common (nausea, headaches), but they have lessened with time. I have lost weight (reasonable, not excessive 2-5lbs per wk). Copay highest for insurance, as it is a new drug without generic alternatives.

i started it in june 2010 it has lowered my bgl fast but i do have some side effects ...im hoping these will ease soon . i can tell a big difference in appetite and im not hungry as often so i would recomend trying it if offered to you.

The medication is working for me but I have been having joint pain. Is this a side effect of the madication?

So far its helped. Not feeling the craving I use to have.And I believe I have lost some weight . The only thing bad is the cost.Is there any help.

started on april 9th have lost 25lbs, have some nausea and constipation. I eat a fiber bar or take benefiber and it has helped the constipation. A1C droped from 9.9 to 8.3.

I have had rotten egg burps, headache and ucky feeling. It is working for my appitite thought. My a1c levels are pretty high. I got to go to dr to have it checked next month. Hope it makes a difference.

love this drug!!! try januvia and byetta then insulin, my fasting sugars were at the lowest 266 and highest in the 400s, started this drug 4 weeks ago and they are now 120's and even dinnertime readins of 110!! Im thrilled. Had headaches and nausea for first couple of weeks but persevered and they have gone and I ahve lost 15lbs!!

took for 2 months, had headaches, nausea and diahrea/gas. I never even got up to the highest dose either.Then developed bad pain in rt side of back area under ribs. I stopped taking due to this as per warnings.my numbers were all over the place and crashed several times which I did not do on Januvia. oh well.

Byetta had me doubled over in pain. I am very comfortable on Victoza. Hope it works. It does decrease my appetite. I do crave sugar a lot more for whatever reason.

Started June 2, switched from Byetta 5 mg. Victoza has been wonderful, brought down my blood sugars to near normal, suppressed appetite, lost 10 pounds so far but no other side effects. Much easier to do 1 shot in morning not related to meals. Very hapy with it.

my blood sugar isnt as low as i would like it to be. i have lost no weight. have used it since feb 2010.

just started

I just started using the medication.Seems to be working for me. Lets see what happens.
