I have just looked at the nhs site re Victoza and noticed it cannot be prescribed if you have thyroid "problems". I have an under active thyroid and take thyroxine. Does anyone else take thyroxine and are still able to use victoza?

I'm currently onlevothyroxine 150 mcg daily for underactive thyroid and been on Victoza for around 6 or 7 weeks, with no obvious problems. Hope this helps.

I had an overactive Thyroid some years ago, which was sorted out, and just been put on Victoza..
I asked this and was told it was only if you had some form of Thyroid cancer, so fine for me ..
Been on it for 5 days now at 0.6, and no real problems, only a slight headache for about 15 mins after injecting, but not seen any changes in levels. They are still in the high teens...
Anyone on here know how long before I can expect to see any reduction...
