Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Hives or acute urticaria is an allergic condition.
Anything including drugs, food, cloth, change in climate, pollens etc can cause urticaria.
Victoza can be a cause for your hives.
Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.
Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long.
Slowly your body might get adapt to this.
If hives still persist a change in drug might be required.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
