Medicinal Benefits

Victoza Solution For 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 Solution For Injection may be advised with or without other medications along with diet and exercise to control blood sugar levels.
