A member asked:

What happens when you take victoza (liraglutide) 1.2 every other day and every other day you do 0 .6, does it lessen the side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: you are better off with the lower dose every day. Victoza (liraglutide) only lasts 24 hours and the higher dose every other day would cause more side effects. Most people get used to Victoza (liraglutide) and the side effects lessen with continued use.
