Ebglyss (Lebrikizumab)

What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

    Description

    Ebglyss (lebrikizumab) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to interleukin-13 (IL-13), a key cytokine involved in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD). By blocking IL-13 signaling, Ebglyss reduces inflammation, skin barrier dysfunction, and pruritus associated with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. It is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable. Ebglyss can be used with or without topical corticosteroids.
