liraglutide/insulin degludec (Rx)

Dosage forms & Strengths

liraglutide/insulin degludec

SC injection

• 3.6mg/100units per mL
• Available as a 3-mL single-use pen

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus

The pen delivers doses from 10-50 units with each injection

Each dosage unit contains 1 unit of insulin degludec and 0.036 mg of liraglutide

Use alternative antidiabetic products if patients require a daily dosage persistently below 16 units or over 50 units

Starting dose

• Discontinue basal insulin or GLP-1 agonist before initiating liraglutide/insulin degludec
• Patients who are naïve to basal insulin or GLP-1 agonists: insulin degludec 10 units/liraglutide 0.36 mg SC qDay
• Patients currently on basal insulin or a GLP-1 agonist: insulin degludec 16 units/liraglutide 0.58 mg SC qDay

Dose titration

• May titrate dose upwards or downwards by 2 units every 3-4 days based on the patient’s metabolic needs, blood glucose monitoring results, and glycemic control goal until the desired fasting plasma glucose is achieved

• To minimize the risk of hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, additional titration may be needed

  • Changes in physical activity, meal patterns (ie, macronutrient content or timing of food intake), or renal or hepatic function
  • During acute illness
  • When used with other medications

Dosage Modifications

Renal impairment

• Severe (liraglutide/insulin degludec): Not studied
• Liraglutide: Postmarketing reports in patients with severe renal impairment of acute renal failure and worsening of chronic renal failure, which may sometimes require hemodialysis

Hepatic impairment

• Not studied

Dosing Considerations

Limitations of use

• Not recommended as first-line therapy for patients who have inadequate glycemic control on diet and exercise because of the uncertain relevance of the rodent C-cell tumor findings to humans
• Not recommended in combination with any other product containing liraglutide or another GLP-1 receptor agonist
• Not indicated for type 1 diabetes mellitus or treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis
• Has not been studied in combination with prandial insulin

Safety and efficacy not established

Initial dosing, dose increments, and maintenance dosage should be conservative to avoid hypoglycemic reactions

Hypoglycemia may be more difficult to recognize in elderly individuals
