It should be noted that many NDCs are displayed on drug packaging in a 10-digit format. Proper billing of an NDC requires an 11-digit number in a 5-4-2 format. Converting NDCs from a 10-digit to 11-digit format requires a strategically placed zero, dependent upon the 10-digit format.

Description
|
Liraglutide injection contains liraglutide, an analog of the fragment 7-37 of the naturally occurring human glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1[7 - 37]), containing one amino acid substitution (Arg for Lys at position 34 of the GLP-1 sequence) and an additional fatty acid chain. Liraglutide is a linear peptide with 31 amino acids and a γ-glutamyl-palmitoyl residue linked to the ɛ-amino group of Lys20. All amino acid residues with exception of the archiral glycines are in the L-configuration. The structural formula (Figure 1) is. C172H265N43O51 M.W. 3751.26 Daltons. Figure 1. Structural Formula of liraglutide. Liraglutide is manufactured by chemical synthesis. Liraglutide injection is a sterile, aqueous, clear, colorless solution for subcutaneous use. Each 1 mL of liraglutide injection solution contains 6 mg of liraglutide and the following inactive ingredients: phenol, 5.5 mg; propylene glycol, 14 mg; sodium phosphate dibasic dihydrate, 1.42 mg; and water for injection. Liraglutide injection has a pH of approximately 8.15, hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide may be added to adjust pH. Each pre-filled pen contains a 3 mL solution of liraglutide injection equivalent to 18 mg liraglutide (free-base, anhydrous).
