If I have a prescription for 3 pens saxenda, and it is currently not in pharmacies and I get victoze interchangeably, how many victozy will I get?

If a substitute drug is released, the same amount of active substance is obtained. In this case, 3 penes of Saxenda contain the same amount of liraglutide as 3 penes of Victoza. In contrast, Victoza comes in packs of 2 pens and Saxenda comes in packs with 3 pens. With this substitution, it is necessary to divide one of the packs of Victoza. In this case, also despite the same amount of active substance, the preparations have different therapeutic indications (according to the registration) and different dosage contained in the leaflet.

Needles can be ordered online using GdziePoLek, e.g.: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/48855/igly-do-penow-bd-micro-fine-plus-igla/apteki#internetowe https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/61649/insupen-igly-do-penow-pic-indolor-igla/apteki?pvid=256080#internetowe
