Those who can take Victoza are people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. While this medicine was conceived as an antidiabetic, some endocrinologists have prescribed Victoza to obese and non-diabetic patients, but Anvisa recommends caution in this attitude as there are not enough studies to show that the drug does not harm the health of non-diabetic people, who use it to lose weight.
People with mild overweight, obesity, abdominal fat, localized fat, or patients with any other condition that is recommended to lose weight may also take the medication, to the extent prescribed by their doctor.
