Methodology [edit]. Median age is the age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups-that is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older. It is a single index that summarizes the age distribution of a population. Currently, the median age ranges from a low of about 15 in Uganda to 40 or more in several European countries, Canada and Japan.
The consumer watchdog group Public Citizen has petitioned the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to have Victoza taken off the market because of the drugâs potential to cause pancreatitis and other serious side effects.
VictozaÂ® (liraglutide) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analog which, like natural GLP-1, lowers blood sugar by stimulating insulin secretion and by delaying gastric emptying. It is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes.xenatide costs approximately $8-$9 per day depending on the dose, so it is a bit less expensive than liraglutide. Currently, exenatide is available only as a 5 or 10 mcg twice-daily injection, making liraglutide a more convenient option.
