A member asked:

Why am i gaining weight on victoza (liraglutide) instead of losing. i am watching my diet and excerising every day.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weight gain: Victoza (liraglutide) does not usually cause weight gain. Since exercise and diet are not contributing per history, other causes of weight gain include Thyroid disease and sleep, emotional and side effects of some medications
