What is the type 2 diabetes medication Victoza?

Victoza is manufactured by Novo Nordisk and was approved by the FDA in January 2010. The active ingredient in Victoza, liraglutide, functions in the same manner as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which helps to promote glucose metabolization and insulin secretion in the pancreas. Victoza relieves insulin deficiencies in type 2 diabetes, while preventing sugar over-production. Since its 2010 approval, Victoza has become one of the most popular diabetes drugs on the market, racking up sales topped $670 million in 2011.

Victoza was controversial even before it was cleared by the FDA. In approving Victoza, the FDA ignored the recommendations of three of its drug safety reviewers. In clinical trials, pancreatitis, or inflammation of the pancreas, occurred more often with Victoza than with other diabetes drug. High doses of the drug also caused thyroid tumors in rats and mice, although the FDA said at the time that it was not known if Victoza would also cause thyroid cancer in people. The FDA’s clinical safety reviewer pointed out at the time that there were already 11 different drugs approved for type 2 diabetes, so there was less urgency to approve a new drug with uncertain safety.

Despite these concerns, a director inside the FDAs office of new drugs overruled some other FDA staff, including the clinical safety reviewer, in approving Victoza. However, the FDA did ask Novo Nordisk to conduct a five-year study to look at Victozas risk of pancreatitis, seriously low blood sugar levels, allergic reactions, and thyroid and other cancers.

FDA Victoza Thyroid Cancer Warning | Side Effects May Include Thyroid Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Renal Failure or Kidney Failure, Death

In June 2011, the FDA issued a warning that Victoza had been linked to thyroid cancer. According to its safety alert, the FDA’s Adverse Event Reporting System had received 25 claims of Victoza thyroid cancer from February 2010 to September 2011.

The thyroid is a gland at the base of the neck, just below the Adam’s apple. The thyroid produces hormones that regulate your heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight. Symptoms that may indicate thyroid cancer include:

  • A lump in the neck
  • Trouble breathing
  • Trouble swallowing
  • Hoarseness

FDA Victoza Kidney Impairment Warning

In May 2011, a warning was added to the “Warning and Precautions” section of the Victoza label regarding the drug’s association with renal impairment. The warning states that renal impairment “has been reported postmarketing, usually in association with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration which may sometimes require hemodialysis.” The label advises doctors to “use caution when initiating or escalating doses of Victoza in patients with renal impairment.”

FDA Victoza Pancreatitis Warning

According to the same June 2011 FDA Safety Communication, there were also at least 200 cases of acute pancreatitis and 28 cases of pancreatic cancer reported during the same period. Acute pancreatitis can cause organ damage and even death. The FDA said patients who start Victoza, as well as those who have their dosage increased, should be observed carefully for signs and symptoms of pancreatitis including persistent severe abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back, and which may or may not be accompanied by vomiting.

2012 Victoza Recall Petition

In April 2012, the group Public Citizen petitioned the FDA to order a Victoza recall, asserting the drugs risks outweigh any clinical benefits. According to the group, Victoza puts patients at risk of thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, serious allergic reactions, and kidney failure.

More and more people are taking this drug, and more people are experiencing serious health problems as a result, Public Citizen director Sidney Wolfe, MD, said in a statement. Clearly, the FDAs warning system is not sufficient. The drug should be taken off the market.

Strongly Recommend Alonso Krangle As a Highly Experienced And Respected Firm

I consulted a close friend and well respected lawyer in the mid-Atlantic region regarding my hip revision surgery due to a medical device recall. Without hesitation, he strongly recommended contacting Alonso Krangle LLP to discuss my case. In his view, Alonso Krangle possessed extensive knowledge and experience in the type of litigation my case required, as well the respect of those throughout the judicial field for their professionalism. Equally as important, their personal focus on each individual’s case gives the client a feeling they are their only concern. My friend’s assessment could not have been more accurate.

Although in New York, Alonso Krangle could not have been more responsive or accommodating if they were located here in Virginia. I cannot recall a single time when my wife or I called their office and did not speak to either Andres Alonso or David Krangle. They were always completely available and ready to answer any and all of our questions. Their advice and recommendations were always honest, sincere, and accurate enabling us to plan accordingly. Legal proceedings can be a long process, but we never felt left out or forgotten thanks to timely updates initiated by Alonso Krangle. In the end, everything turned out as Alonso Krangle estimated from the beginning. I could not have expected better personal attention or concern from a family member handling my case. As with my friend, I too, would not hesitate to strongly recommend Alonso Krangle as a highly experienced and respected firm that will treat you like family.

Absolutely Instrumental in Helping Me Expose Medicare Fraud That My Former Employer Was Engaging In
When you have to fight Goliath you better call David. Dave was absolutely instrumental in helping me expose Medicare fraud that my former employer (one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world) was engaging in. Dave took the time to listen to my concerns and my evidence. He worked tirelessly to bring the best resources to table so that our case would be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted. In the end, the Goliath was defeated thanks to Dave!

Dave Krangle Worked Restlessly On This Case Until We Won
I consider David Krangle as my attorney for many years now. Going back about 13 years ago my father was involved in a hit and run accident. David had gone the extra mile to win our case….. Mr. David Krangle worked restlessly on this case until we won the case. Since then, if anybody asks for a good attorney I recommend David Krangle with confidence. He has helped a number of my friends and relatives and they all appreciated his professionalism, prompt responses to any inquiry during case development, careful study of all details pertaining to their case. He treats his clients as family. Thank you, Mr. Krangle, wishing you a continued success, good health and prosperity.

We were very fortunate to meet David Krangle
My husband and myself had been involved in a multiple vehicle accident 5 years ago. At that time we were given the name of Mr. David Krangle, attorney. It took close to 5 years of very diligent work for Mr Krangle to complete our case to everyone’s satisfaction. During those years of endless hours and hours of work that he put into our case yet whenever we reached out to Dave (as the years allowed us to call him) he was always available to us. His patience did seem endless. His professionalism in researching everything to make our turnout perfect for us was everything we expected and let us rest knowing things are following the right path. I know we were treated with the utmost respect from various insurance companies and other attorney’s because that was something Mr Krangle made sure of. In difficult times it can be intimidating to work with a professional but we were very fortunate to meet David Krangle who had the ability to share warmth and compassion with us during a trying time. Those are traits that we admired in David Krangle and are delighted to have worked with him.
