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.
Like Victoza, it is also a liraglutide injection. But Saxenda is indicated for weight management and is not indicated for treating Type 2 diabetes. Though it is effective in controlling blood sugar, Victoza may be linked to dangerous side effects, including pancreatitis and thyroid cancer.
