Victoza dosing schedule
Victoza dosing follows a step-up titration designed to minimize the gastrointestinal side effects that are common with GLP-1 medications. Starting at the lowest dose, the prescriber increases gradually — typically every 4 weeks — until the target therapeutic dose is reached. This page details the FDA-labeled schedule, what to do if you miss a dose, and the maximum approved dose.
