Drug Overview
Xultophy ([insulin degludec + liraglutide]; Novo Nordisk) is a once-daily, injectable combination product comprising a fixed ratio of Novo Nordisk’s long-lasting basal insulin Tresiba (insulin degludec) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist Victoza (liraglutide) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Dosing is titrated according to insulin, and can therefore be adjusted from patient to patient. A key benefit of the combined dosing is the increase in efficacy over component products with a comparatively lower dose of each. Xultophy is administered via a prefilled device which utilizes the same platform as Novo Nordisk’s FlexTouch device.
