Can victoza or saxenda be taken in combination with xenical for weight loss? any drug interactions?

There is no direct: contraindication for the combined use of these drugs however as you lose weight you will need to have your dosage of either Victoza or Saxenda adjusted to avoid dangerously low blood sugar levels.

Weight loss: Saxenda is an injectable drug indicated by the FDA for weight loss and liraglutide in Saxenda can delay gastric emptying, however no specific drug interaction takes place between Saxenda and Xenical. Victoza is indicated for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes and can also be taken with Xenical but not for a weight loss indication even though it may cause weight loss. Xenical may affect oral drugs
