Victoza (liraglutide): Complete Guide 2026

Updated April 2026Reviewed by Enzo Medical Advisory Team

Victoza (liraglutide) is a once-daily injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. As one of the earliest widely-used GLP-1 medications, Victoza established the class's reputation for effective blood sugar control with the added benefit of weight loss. The LEADER cardiovascular outcomes trial demonstrated that Victoza also reduces the risk of major cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease.
