I came from Byetta so I was used to having to watch when I could take the pen. I was excited about not having to worry but I did as my physician suggested that it did not matter. Frankly I feel it does. If you are ready to have your morning meal, For me best to take AM before the meal. Less risk of nausea if on empty stomach before injection.
Was taking it before bed , first week sick after that fine . Just started taking it in the morn (1.8 dose) . No weight loss at all.
My doctor has me taking it first thing in the morning which i believe is best if you understand the way Victoza works. As far as weight loss it comes in time and like any weight loss drug you also must change your diet and get exercise. Do this and i guarantee you will loose weight.
I recently started taking Victoza for weight loss on my 3rd day started at . 6mg on an empty stomach first in the morning today's shot made me lite headed. I am going to start taking it after a meal and after my morning gym session. I will update this soon as of next week i go to 1.2mg then to 1.8 for my weight loss. I am currently 6'1 285 goal weight is 220 by end of year.
So How much weight did you lose. How long were you on the drug
how much weight have you lost using Victoza
What is the best time to take victoza
To avoid nausea, I take 0,6 mg in morning and 0.6mgs at night.
I started taking victoza on Friday horrible nausea and vomiting i couldnt eat nothing!so i switched to taking my shot from 11 am to 6 pm wow! Big diffrence i was able to cook without gagging,and i ate some but the nausea is so much better if ur having problems swich to taking itat night i hope this helps god bless
Me too! Mine was from 6am to 600 pm and the difference was huge! So much more tolerable.
I was also feeling fatigued and nauseated when injecting in the morning. I switched to the afternoon (5:30 pm) and I feel much much better.
