Historical renal / replacement-therapy guidance

The historical table retains usual doses at 20-60, 10-20 and <10 mL/min. It also retains usual dosing in PD/HD (not dialyzed) and high-flux/continuous therapy (unlikely to be dialyzed). Its notes describe older UK non-recommendation below 30 and kidney-injury concerns. Do not equate this older UK restriction with the separately shown U.S. VICTOZA label. The 0.6-1.8 mg range is the diabetes product context, not SAXENDA.

Dosing / renal protocol and limits

Begin 0.6 mg subcutaneously daily for one week to improve gastrointestinal tolerance, then 1.2 mg daily. If needed, increase to 1.8 mg daily after at least one week on 1.2 mg. The 0.6-mg adult dose is for initiation, not effective glycemic maintenance.

No renal dose adjustment is recommended; ESRD experience is limited. Review dehydration/acute-kidney-injury risk with gastrointestinal adverse effects. Medullary thyroid carcinoma/MEN2 contraindications remain applicable. This diabetes product regimen is not the SAXENDA weight-management regimen.
