How much will generic Victoza (liraglutide) cost?
A specific price for generic Victoza is not provided in the information available here. Generic pricing typically depends on when the generic launches, the number of competing products at launch, pharmacy pricing contracts, and whether the drug is covered under a patient’s insurance plan.
When will generic Victoza be available?

Will insurance plans change what you pay?
Yes. Even if a generic launches at a certain cash price, many patients pay a lower amount through insurance copays, while others pay a higher amount if they are in a high-deductible plan or if the insurer prefers a different formulary option.
What’s the fastest way to estimate your likely out-of-pocket cost?
Once a generic is on the market, the best estimate comes from your pharmacy’s cash price (or the pharmacy benefit manager price under your plan). Many pharmacies can quote “cash price” and “insurance price” the same day.
