Those who can take Victoza are individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although this drug was designed as an antidiabetic, some endocrinologists have prescribed Victoza for obese and non-diabetic patients, but Anvisa recommends caution in this attitude as there are not enough studies to prove it that the drug does not harm the health of non-diabetic individuals, who use it to lose weight.
Individuals who are slightly overweight, obese, in case of abdominal fat, localized fat or patients with any other disease in which it is recommended to lose weight can also take the medicine, as long as it is prescribed by your doctor.
Victoza has, like any other medication, contraindications that must be respected and therefore should not be taken by pregnant women, breastfeeding women, patients undergoing cancer treatment, in case of renal impairment, impairment of the digestive system, in case of allergy to any of the components of the formula and by type 1 diabetic patients who are taking another medication to regulate blood glucose.
