How much does Victoza (liraglutide, diabetes label) cost a month?

halfrx records no verified price for Victoza (liraglutide, diabetes label): nothing it publishes states an all-in monthly figure, so this medication carries no price here rather than a guess. What it costs once titrated is not published, which is a fact about the seller rather than a gap in the data. Daily liraglutide for type 2 diabetes — the same molecule as Saxenda at lower doses. No cash price published. No FTC action, state action, BBB F grade or FDA warning letter is recorded against it.

Novo publishes no self-pay price for Victoza; its product page directs to a coverage checker rather than a figure. The medication is the branded, FDA-approved product rather than a compounded copy.

Every clinical statement on it is drawn from the FDA label or the trial cited beside it, and every price carries the date it was verified — but that is sourcing, not medical review, and the two are not the same thing.

Pros

  • +The oldest GLP-1 still widely prescribed, approved in 2010, with a cardiovascular indication.[1]
  • +Same molecule as Saxenda, which halfrx tracks with a verified price — so the cost of the weight-labelled version is knowable even where this one's is not.[1]

Cons

  • Novo publishes no cash price and its page routes to a coverage checker instead of a figure.[1]
  • Daily injection rather than weekly, and at doses below the 3 mg the weight-loss trials used.[1]
  • Weight loss is off-label here; the percentages quoted for liraglutide come from Saxenda's trials at a higher dose.[1]
