Liraglutide Dosage and Protocols
Liraglutide dosage protocols reported in published research, plus reconstitution and storage.
Titration Schedule
Both Victoza and Saxenda start at 0.6mg once daily subcutaneously for one week, then increase in 0.6mg increments at weekly-to-monthly intervals to limit nausea and GI upset. Victoza's typical maintenance dose is 1.2–1.8mg daily; Saxenda titrates further to a 3.0mg daily maintenance dose for weight management. Unlike semaglutide or tirzepatide, there is no weekly-injection version — liraglutide requires daily dosing for the life of the therapy, delivered via a pre-filled pen.
