RubyCanuckI have been on Victoza for 5 months and have developed both a yeast and bacterial infection in my urine (Strep B). I took antibiotics for the urine infection but still suffer from itchy and sore skin especially in my groin area.
I am a 59 year old woman. Could this be caused by Victoza?
Has anyone reported itchy skin and rash problems on Victoza?

Common side effects of taking Victoza do include Urinary tract infection (UTI) in about 7.4% people who take this med.
If you think its too bothersome, you may seek advice form your doc who prescribed the med to give you a more suitable alternative to suit your system.
Take care, please, be well, best wishes!

I just went through the same issues..UTI then 2 weeks later a vaginal yeast infection. I was on Bactrim which does not lead to the yeast infection. The last time I saw my endocrinologist she asked me if I had had a yeast infection and I thought it was a strange question. Now I am wondering if this is going to be something that happens frequently. I will not continue the Victoza if it is.
Have others had this experience also? I have been on the Victoza since June. Interestingly Ruby, I am also 59 yrs old. Maybe it is just an unlucky age??? LOL
