Victoza is Novo Nordisk's once-daily liraglutide pen for type 2 diabetes.[5] People searching for a Victoza coupon are usually looking for a maker copay card like the one Ozempic has. Novo’s current pages do not list one for Victoza.
| Program | Names Victoza? | What it names |
|---|---|---|
| Copay savings offer | No | Ozempic and Rybelsus |
| NovoCare non-insulin offers list | No | Ozempic |
| Patient Assistance Program, 2026 list | No | Ozempic pens; insulins; Xultophy |
| Coverage check | Yes | Your plan's estimated cost |
What Novo’s savings pages list
NovoCare’s page of savings offers splits them into insulins and non-insulins[2]. The non-insulin list has one entry, Ozempic[2].
The full terms of Novo’s diabetes savings offer set out details for two brands, Ozempic and Rybelsus[3]. Victoza is not among them[3]. The Ozempic card and its cap are explained in Ozempic savings card.
The Victoza site itself points to a co-pay calculator and a coverage check[1]. It says the monthly cost depends on your insurance plan[1]. It also says most major plans cover Victoza, including Medicare and Medicaid[1].
The assistance program
The Victoza site says the Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program provides free medication to those who qualify[1]. The program’s 2026 list of available products tells a narrower story[4].
Its GLP-1 section names three Ozempic pens, available to uninsured patients only[4]. The only liraglutide product on the list is Xultophy, which pairs liraglutide with insulin degludec[4]. Victoza does not appear[4].
Generic liraglutide
On December 23, 2024, FDA approved the first generic referencing Victoza 18 mg/3 mL[7]. Its indication is the same: blood sugar control in adults and children 10 and older with type 2 diabetes[7]. FDA’s announcement noted that generic drugs are generally more affordable[7].
One generic label lists the same 18 mg pen, in packs of 2 or 3 pens[8]. Ask your plan how it covers the generic, since its copay can differ from the brand’s. Saxenda, the higher-dose liraglutide for weight, is a different product, priced in liraglutide cost.
How many pens a month
A Victoza pen holds 18 mg and delivers doses of 0.6 mg, 1.2 mg or 1.8 mg[5]. Adults start at 0.6 mg for a week, then move to 1.2 mg, and to 1.8 mg if needed[5]. After first use, a pen can be stored for 30 days[5].
| Daily dose | Days per pen | Pens per 30 days |
|---|---|---|
| 0.6 mg | 30 | 1 |
| 1.2 mg | 15 | 2 |
| 1.8 mg | 10 | 3 |
The label sells Victoza in packs of 2 or 3 pens[5]. So a 2-pen pack covers a month at 1.2 mg, and a 3-pen pack covers a month at 1.8 mg. Price a quote or a copay per 30 days, not per box, or the two pack sizes will not compare.
With Medicare or Medicaid
Manufacturer copay coupons are generally closed to Medicare and Medicaid. The HHS Office of Inspector General says a coupon on a drug a federal program may pay for implicates the anti-kickback statute[9]. It notes that coupons typically bar federal program beneficiaries[9].
So on those plans, the plan’s own cost-sharing is the price. The Victoza site says most such plans cover it[1]. Ask whether the generic sits on a lower tier.
Before you fill
- Does your plan cover Victoza, and does it cover generic liraglutide at a lower copay?
- Is your daily dose 1.2 mg or 1.8 mg, so the right pack size is filled?
- If you are uninsured, does the assistance program cover your medicine this year?
- Would your prescriber consider a GLP-1 that does carry a maker savings offer?
Coverage rules in general are in is peptide therapy covered by insurance.
