Victoza is a GLP-1 injectable manufactured by Novo Nordisk.  It became a blockbuster drug after celebrity chef Paula Deen endorsed it as the medication that she used to control her type 2 diabetes.  Novo Nordisk also touts the drug as one that will help patients lose weight, though it is not approved for weight loss.  This makes it even more attractive to diabetes patients that also struggle to control their weight.

Unfortunately, Victoza has become known as a dangerous drug that could cause thyroid cancers and tumors, pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, and kidney complications and failure.  The drug has become so notorious that some consumer advocacy groups are calling for the FDA to remove Victoza from the market.  While it has not taken such action, the FDA has required Novo Nordisk to add a black box warning to Victoza.
