Trulicity is an antidiabetic dulaglutide diabetes injection medicine, that contains the active substance dulaglutide. The Dulaglutide Injection is used in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to control the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Trulicity can be used as the only therapy when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate control of blood glucose levels in patients who cannot take metformin (another anti-diabetic medicine). Trulicity can also be used as an adjunctive therapy in combination with other anti-diabetic medicines, including insulin, when these medicines, together with diet and exercise, do not provide adequate blood glucose control.
How Does It Work?
Trulicity is used for a type of diabetes treatment and can limit the amount of sugar that enters the blood from the liver. It helps reduce the process of food passing from the stomach. It helps the pancreas release insulin in response to high blood sugar levels after meals.
What Are The Benefits Of Taking It?
Dulaglutide is indicated for the treatment of adults with DMT2, in the following situations:
- In monotherapy: when exercise and diet do not allow adequately control blood glucose in patients for whom the use of MET is inappropriate due to intolerance or contraindications.
- Combined with other antidiabetics, including insulin, when these, together with physical exercise and diet do not allow adequately control blood glucose.
How Do I Use It?
Trulicity can be administered at any time of the day with or without food. You must use it the same day every week if you can. To help you remember, you can write down the day of the week when you inject your first doses in the Trulicity box or on a calendar. Ozempic
Trulicity is injected under the skin (subcutaneous injection) from the stomach area (abdomen) or into the upper leg (thigh). If someone else gives you the injection, you can do it on top from the arm. If you want, you can inject yourself into the same area of your body every week. But in this case, make sure to choose different injection sites within the same area.
It is important that you monitor your blood sugar levels as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you are taking Trulicity together with a sulfonylurea or insulin.
