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

    Livdelzi is a prescription medication used to help manage a chronic liver condition called primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in adults. It’s used primarily when standard first-line treatments are insufficient or poorly tolerated.

    PBC causes small bile ducts in the liver to become damaged and inflamed, which leads to the buildup of bile and liver injury. Livdelzi addresses this issue by reducing bile-related inflammation. This may result in improved biochemical markers (e.g. ALP), reduced ongoing liver irritation, and overall symptom improvement.

    Cautions

    Before starting Livdelzi, tell your healthcare provider of any of the following:

    • Existing health conditions (e.g. symptoms of worsening liver symptoms, bile duct obstruction)
    • Medications, vitamins, or herbal supplements you’re taking (drug interactions may occur)
    • Allergies
    • Pregnancy and breastfeeding status. It’s unknown whether Livdelzi can harm an unborn baby or may pass into the breast milk.

    If you become pregnant while taking Livdelzi, inform your healthcare provider right away. You may participate in a pregnancy safety study for people who take Livdelzi during pregnancy. This helps collect information about maternal and infant health outcomes.

    While Livdelzi can improve key signs of liver disease (e.g. elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and elevated bilirubin), it has not been confirmed whether Livdelzi improves survival or prevents worsening liver function.

    Livdelzi has not been studied or approved in children.

    Contraindications

    Do not take Livdelzi if you have advanced liver disease (decompensated cirrhosis), as the medication may cause worsening liver function in this case.

    Do not take Livdelzi if you have a bile duct obstruction.

    Side Effects

    Commonly reported Livdelzi side effects include headache, stomach or abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, and dizziness.

    More serious side effects include worsening liver problems (e.g. jaundice, abdominal swelling, vomiting blood, dark stools, or confusion), bone fractures, and increased liver enzymes.

    This is not a complete list of Livdelzi side effects. Consult your healthcare provider if you notice any persistent or concerning side effects of Livdelzi.
