Sounds horrible but Glumetza is just metformin with something extra to stay in the stomach longer. Acthar Gel is prednisone with a claim of less side effects.

Sounds horrible but Glumetza is just metformin with something extra to stay in the stomach longer. Acthar Gel is prednisone with a claim of less side effects. Interesting it got approved in the early 1960s and was grandfathered in and didn't need to provide trials so many questions exist around if it's any different from prednisone anyways. Either way patents have expired and a generic maker can make this. You can be mad at both, either or none. But companies being shielded by patents doesn't really apply here so it's hard to generate outrage
