What are they? Are they meaningful?

I heard that drug companies typically choose a easy brand name, but indentation lean towards “brutal” names for the “medical” name to make it less easy for generics once the patent life is over

It will likely have a better brand name

If things are not sterile and you are injecting it at home you run the risk of infections and in the worst case death. Some people have no problems with injections at home though. Personally, I would not want to do my own injections at home.

@DeStrider But are you talking about the auto injectors that brand GLP1a comes with or something else?

Auto injectors are safer. Many people turn one injector into several injections on their own. This has safety issues.

I thought the Indian ones were powder and you had to reconstitute them. This is also problematic.

I prefer the pill.

Practically very few manufacturers of tirzepatide and semaglutide for injecting are from India . The majority come from China.

My side effects from even low dose Rybelsus were intolerable. Profound fatigue was the worst part, although I did lose maybe 10 pounds. The published trials for Rybelsus aren’t impressive for weight loss, but if you tolerate it well and you don’t need to lose much, it’s certainly a viable option.
