Victoza is a drug recently approved by Anvisa indicated to combat type 2 diabetes but has been shown to be useful for weight loss. The users of the drug reported a great loss of weight, even without diet and exercise. According to the researchers the individual who takes a daily dose of Victoza manages to lose an average of 3 kilos per month maintaining their activities normally.
The weight loss is even greater when it is associated with a diet and the daily practice of physical exercises, being able to reach 5 kilos per month. The creators of the drug claim that it has few side effects and does not harm health, on the contrary, improves heart function, promotes feelings of satiety and decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
What caught the attention of experts was that the first patients to be treated with the new drug reported a weight loss of on average 7 kilos in 5 months, without making any dietary changes or exercise.
The weight-loss factor has been proven since, and endocrinologists already prescribe the Victoza not only to stop Diabetes but to lose weight. However, it should be noted that the remedy contains some contraindications and when it is associated with diet and exercise is even more effective.
The dose should be decided by the doctor for most patients, and 0.6 mg per day is enough to lose weight. The medicine can not be bought without a prescription and the price may vary from region to region.
Attention
Although it has been shown to be useful in weight loss, Anvisa warns that Victoza should not be used by healthy individuals and not Diabetics because there are not enough studies to prove that it does not harm health when used for the purpose of weight loss.
