Buying from a pharmacy outside the U.S.? Read Is it safe to order Liraglutide from Canada?
90-day cost = 6 pens at the usual dose of 2 a month, bought as one order of whole packs with one shipping fee. 90-day cost is worked out from each pharmacy's real order size so different pack sizes compare fairly. Orders are kept within a 3-month supply (92 days); a pack that is larger than that is marked and not used for the lowest price at the top of this page. Prices checked Nov 12, 2026 on each pharmacy's website, in U.S. dollars. Savings compare with the U.S. list price. The lowest price at the top of this page uses only packs whose maker the pharmacy names, or whose product country and ships-from country it states. Price is the pharmacy's own price for one pack, as shown on its website (converted to U.S. dollars when it prices in Canadian dollars). Delivery is the pharmacy's own estimate for the shipping option shown, not a promise; some pharmacies count from when they receive your prescription or ship the order. Total = the packs needed + shipping. When those packs don't add up to exactly 90 days, the row shows what that order costs and, under it, what it works out to for 90 days; we sort by the 90-day amount so pack sizes compare fairly. Prices change often; confirm at checkout. U.S. rows: the cash price a U.S. pharmacy published on its own website on the date shown, for whole fills, plus its standard shipping; no insurance or discount cards.

Liraglutide cost with Medicare in 2026
Generic liraglutide is approved for type 2 diabetes, so Medicare Part D plans may cover it; what you pay depends on your plan's drug list. In 2026, Part D plans can charge a deductible of up to $615, and once your out-of-pocket spending on covered drugs reaches $2,100, you pay nothing more for covered drugs that year. A TrumpRx.gov cash purchase doesn't count toward your plan.
| Medicare Part D | What Liraglutide costs | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Part D deductible | No Medicare drug plan may have a deductible above $615 in 2026. Some plans have none. | Medicare.gov |
| Yearly out-of-pocket cap | Once your out-of-pocket spending on covered Part D drugs reaches $2,100 in 2026, you pay nothing more for covered drugs that year. | Medicare.gov |

Who makes generic Victoza?
Many companies. Teva sells an authorized generic made under Victoza's own approval (listed since June 24, 2024). The FDA has also approved generic liraglutide pens rated equivalent to Victoza (AP) from Hikma (December 23, 2024), Lupin, Meitheal, Biocon, Cipla, Sandoz, Fresenius Kabi and Mylan.

When people choose brand Victoza
Some people get brand Victoza instead of generic liraglutide. Common reasons:
- A prescription marked “dispense as written” (or “brand medically necessary”) tells the pharmacy to fill brand Victoza, not a generic. State laws set the rules for generic substitution.
- Some insurance and Medicare drug plans cover the brand and the generic at different copays, or cover only one of them. Your plan's drug list shows which.
Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.

What is Liraglutide used for?
Liraglutide is a once-daily GLP-1 injection, the same medicine as in Victoza. According to the generic liraglutide FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- With diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults and children 10 years and older with type 2 diabetes.
- To lower the risk of major heart events (heart attack, stroke or death from heart disease) in adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
The label says adults start at 0.6 mg once a day for one week, then 1.2 mg a day; the dose can go up to 1.8 mg a day if needed. Each pen holds 18 mg and can give 0.6, 1.2 or 1.8 mg doses. Unused pens are kept in the refrigerator; a pen in use can be kept up to 30 days. The label says using it with other liraglutide products is not recommended. It has a boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Liraglutide from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and FDA-approved generic liraglutide is already sold in the U.S. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027. We found no generic liraglutide at the licensed pharmacies abroad we compare; brand Victoza made for Canada is listed on the Victoza page.

Is liraglutide the same as Victoza?
Liraglutide is the active ingredient in Victoza and the generic name. Teva's pen is an authorized generic made under Victoza's own approval, and other FDA-approved generics are rated AP, which means the FDA considers them equivalent to Victoza.
Who makes generic Victoza?

Is there a shortage of liraglutide?
The FDA's drug shortage list shows liraglutide injection as a current shortage (updated October 2026). Ask your pharmacy whether it has your pens in stock.
Is generic liraglutide the same as generic Saxenda?
Both contain liraglutide in an 18 mg/3 mL pen, but generic Victoza is approved for type 2 diabetes at up to 1.8 mg a day and generic Saxenda for weight management at 3 mg a day. They are rated as equivalent to different brands and are not interchangeable.
Does Medicare cover generic liraglutide?
