Can i take victoza (liraglutide) before i go for blood tests (incl a1c)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unless your doctor: specifically tells you otherwise, you should take your medication exactly as prescribed just as you do on a daily basis. Your doctor wants to know how things are going in general, not just on this specific day. If you're supposed to be fasting, swallow it down with plain water. After your blood work is drawn, you should have a snack or normal meal to avoid LOW blood sugar. Dr. Anne
