Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Victoza is a medication for type 2 diabetes treatment formulated to lower blood sugar levels and reliably get Type 2 diabetics down to a 7% or lower A1C test score. Victoza is a GLP-agonist medication that works in 3 ways to moderate blood glucose. It slows food leaving the stomach, prevents sugar production by the liver, and then promotes more insulin production from the pancreas to be more effective for blood sugar control for certain people. It may also be a better fit for people with Type 2 diabetes and the risk of cardiovascular events and is approved for children 10 years of age and up.
