A liraglutide tracker is a record of each day's injection and what followed it, kept in one place whichever brand you take. Liraglutide is sold as Saxenda and Victoza, both once-daily injections, and Veya logs either one the same way. It records what you enter and nothing else, and it is not a substitute for your prescriber's advice.
Why liraglutide users track by the molecule, not the brand
People end up on liraglutide through different routes: a brand-name prescription, a move from one brand to another, or a change of prescriber part way through treatment. Which of the two you have been prescribed is a question for the label on your own pen and for the person who wrote the prescription, not for this page. What it covers is the record, and the reasons to keep one do not change with the brand on the box.
Saxenda and Victoza are not the same product, whatever they share
Saxenda and Victoza are both liraglutide from Novo Nordisk, in similar-looking pens, and it would be easy to assume they are interchangeable because of that. They are not: they are different products with different licensed uses, and which one is right for you is set out on your own packaging rather than by the shared active substance.
If you have ever taken both, it is worth being clear in your record which brand you were on at any given time rather than tracking 'liraglutide' as one undifferentiated thing.
A daily injection is easy to lose count of over time
A once-daily injection blends into the background of an ordinary week, which is exactly what makes a missed day easy to lose track of. Over several weeks the question of how consistently it was actually taken stops being something you can answer with confidence.
A daily entry, even a one-line one, turns 'I think I've kept it up' into something you can actually check.
A symptom needs a date more than it needs a description
Telling a prescriber a symptom 'comes and goes' is much less useful than telling them which day it started, how long it lasted, and which brand you were on at the time. That detail is exactly what gets lost between the event and the appointment.
A short note made on the day holds up far better than a recollection assembled weeks later.
How Veya tracks your liraglutide
- Injection logA daily entry with the site you used, so a run of consecutive days is something you can see rather than something you have to trust yourself to remember.
- Symptom and side-effect notesWhat you noticed and on which day, sitting on the same timeline as your injections so a genuine pattern can be told apart from an ordinary day.
- Weight and measurement entriesRecorded when you choose to record them, at whatever interval suits you and your prescriber. Veya stores the numbers you enter and plots them over time.
- Appointment preparationYour recent entries pulled together into something you can read from or hand over, so the conversation starts from a record instead of a rough recollection.
- Reminders you setA daily prompt on whatever schedule you choose, for whatever you have decided to record. Veya reminds you to make an entry; it has no view on your treatment itself.
- CSV exportYour entries out of the app as a CSV file, in normal use and after cancelling. It is your record, and it should read somewhere other than inside Veya.
What to record across a change in your prescription
Treatment is reviewed and adjusted over time, and some people move between brands. Veya will not tell you what to take, and this page carries no schedule of amounts: that is between you and your prescriber, and it is set out in the patient information supplied with your medicine. What a tracker can do is make the period around a change legible afterwards. These are the entries worth having.
- The date something changed, written down on the day rather than reconstructed later.
- Which brand you were on before the change and which you moved to, if it was a change of brand.
- Whether the daily injection continued without a break through the change, or whether a day was missed.
- Any symptom that appeared, disappeared or changed character in the two weeks either side.
- How long each symptom lasted, which usually tells a prescriber more than how bad it felt.
- The injection site used each day, so a site-specific reaction can be told apart from a general one.
- Anything else that changed at the same time: a new medicine, an illness, travel, a different sleep pattern.
- The questions you want to ask at your next appointment, written down when they occur to you.

Read from the EMA summaries of product characteristics for Saxenda and Victoza on 11 September 2026. Product information is reissued when a variation is approved. Always follow the patient information leaflet supplied with your own medicine, and speak to your prescriber or pharmacist about anything concerning your treatment.
Does Veya tell me what dose to take?
No, and it will not. Veya records what you enter. Decisions about your treatment belong to you and the prescriber who looks after it, and the patient information supplied with your medicine is the place to look for how it should be taken.
Are Saxenda and Victoza interchangeable?
No. Both are liraglutide from Novo Nordisk in similar-looking pens, but they are different products with different licensed uses. Go by what your own packaging says rather than by the shared active substance.
What happens to my entries if I stop paying?
CSV export works in normal use and after cancelling. Your record is exportable as a file you keep, rather than something that becomes unreadable when a subscription ends.
I'm not sure which brand of liraglutide I'm on. Does that matter for tracking?
For the entry itself, no; Veya records the date, site and any notes you add regardless. It is still worth checking your own packaging, since Saxenda and Victoza are not the same product.
Is Veya connected to a pharmaceutical company?
No. Veya is provider-neutral and independent. It does not sell, supply or prescribe medication, and it is not affiliated with any manufacturer. Liraglutide is named here to identify the substance this page is about.
Can I use one tracker across a change of brand?
Yes. Entries carry the brand they relate to, so a history that spans a move from one to another stays in one record instead of splitting across two.
Can I print my history for an appointment?
Yes. Entries export as a CSV file, which opens in a spreadsheet and prints. Handing over a printed sheet is often quicker than passing a phone across a desk.
