Ozempic, Saxenda, Victoza - What are the differences? Which is the best? I'm going to talk about this in today's video let's make a likes goal here I want this video to reach 1000 likes you can help me more people will be able to watch this content is still going to be a very small portion of the population Too many patients Too many people have this question I would like to know more about it so if you can help leave your like here this also improves the scope of the video both saxenda as Ozempic and Victoza have another medication also called which is Trulicity are from the class of GLP analogues- 1, they work in the same way, it has the same mechanism of action, which is to delay gastric emptying, making you feel a feeling of gastric fullness and the food it stays longer in the stomach, it also works by improving the glycemic profile, the Glucose the blood sugar is a lot because of that they were initially created to treat Diabetes, I will enter the indications later and it also acts in society and n so there are basically these three mechanisms in this class of glp-1 analogues and now the differences between them first saxenda and victoza they are the same medication same active ingredient which is liraglutide olympique is to be thin Tida and trolicit is hard Tida That's right and because they are the same medication it is both saxenda and Victor it's because as I said earlier this medication was this class it was created to fight Diabetes so Victoza it has its indication in the package insert for diabetes treatment and it goes up to a dose of 1.
8 or saxenda, it is a medication that is already on the package leaflet, it is On-label and it can be used for the treatment of obesity even at a higher dose than that recommended for the treatment of diabetes the Ozempic also contained in the leaflet is approved for diabetes and does not have to obesity, as well as Trulicity then only for diabetes these four medications the only one that has been approved in the leaflet is saxenda This is one, and there is mon One difference in relation to the application system, first here, the box is in three pens and the application system is disposable like the others. But you have to buy the needles separately, the Ozempic comes with a needle they usually have one pen is just a needle for you to put together in the pen, right in the application system, the Victoza box comes two pens and you also have to buy the needles part. Another very frequent question regarding the size of the needle the millimeters what all these medications they need to be injected subcutaneously just under the skin and cannot reach the muscle tissue so if you know how many millimeters you will need a needle you need to ask your doctor there is no other way it will vary from patient to patient it can be 4mm 6mm 8mm there is no way to know it will depend on the size of your subcutaneous tissue the application areas are also similar to So this region of the arm in the abdomen and also on the outer surface of the thigh, they are generally more recommended because they have larger subcutaneous tissue, but you also have to do the physical examination to see which is the most suitable place in relation to the doses, the dosage, trulicity and Ozempoc, they are for application weekly once a week and Saxenda and Victoza (liraglutide) are medications for daily application, so the time of action is a big difference, the dosage.
Regarding the market value, they have a very similar value, not in some cities, some patients, as I also accompany patients from abroad, they report that in some cities, Saxenda is even more affordable than Ozempic, in other cities, Ozempic is much more expensive including So you have to research this I didn't say that the video this video that it is not sponsored ok I have no link with the Pharmaceutical Industry, all my content not only this one In your accounts on my channel are exempt from any sponsorship by the industry , I will never recommend a remedy, so I don't receive money from the industry. Come on they do not cause Hypoglycemia it is a very frequent question they are used for diabetes how is it that they do not cause hypoglycemia in patients who already have normal glucose? Because this increase in insulin secretion depends a lot on high glucose, it only happens when your body detects that the glucose is at a high level, if it is at a normal level, it won't increase much insulin secretion to the point of causing a hypoglycemia, so hypoglycemia is not a reported side effect.
What is another side effect among all medications nausea vomiting irritation place of application and if you have any of these effects and have to stop you also have to contact your doctor if you have more exaggerated or exacerbated reactions of any allergy or any other symptom of vision for example you have to also get in Immediate Contact or your doctor because it can be a potentially serious reaction you cannot tolerate it. The minimum age for use is 18 she is still entitled not for pediatric use then just over 18 years for pregnancy also Non face is advisable to use as well as other medications to lose weight during pregnancy are not indicated and also there are no studies that demonstrate its safety, so it is class of and preferably should not be used during pregnancy, another very important point, all medications, as they interfere with gastric leakage, if you are going to have an endoscopy or colonoscopy exam, you have to talk to your doctor and ask him about the time you need to suspend this medication before taking the test so you don't have any problems or if you do not need it you have to always remember that's right and now they ask me Which is the best? Which of these medications works the most?
First to determine that what medication will have more chance of success the doctor it will be based on the senses studies that had hitherto not it will make analysis of the patient will put the patient in these studies which he most fits to know the chance of success then There is no answer to this question, which is the best, the best will be for each patient, each with us will have a profile, it's not so simple, well so if you liked this video don't forget our goal I put it and a thousand likes if you want to know more about any other medication I've already made a specific video about Saxenda and Ozempic, including commenting on how much weight the patient loses in these studies if you want to know I'll put those little boxes here for you to click, hugs.
