\n
Results from the 26-week, open-label study show that patients taking injectable Victoza<\/a> (liraglutide 1.8 mg) reported significantly higher overall treatment satisfaction after 26 weeks than those receiving oral Januvia (sitagliptin). Notably, patients rated Victoza 1.8 mg as convenient as Januvia and were more likely both to continue treatment themselves, and to recommend Victoza to another patient.
Additional data from the study demonstrated that both HbA1c reduction and weight loss were significantly greater with Victoza than Januvia\u00a0 when added to a stable dose of metformin.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
