Trulicity Dulaglutide

Trulicity Dulaglutide a GLP-1 receptor agonist for people with type 2 diabetes. It is not prescribed to people with type 1 diabetes Trulicity was approved for use in January 2015.

Trulicity is prescribed when diet and exercise have failed to bring blood glucose levels under control. It may also be prescribed instead of metformin, if metformin is unsuitable for you. Trulicity comes in dosages of 1.5mg and 0.75mg.

How does Trulicity work?
Like other GLP-1 receptors agonists, Trulicity works by stimulating the body’s natural production of insulin It also inhibits the release of glucagon and slows digestion.
Trulicity also aids weight loss.

Again, this is similar to other GLP-1 receptor agonists. Trulicity is prescribed primarily to people who need to lower their blood glucose levels; the weight loss is an added benefit.

How do I take Trulicity?
Trulicity is taken in the form of injection These injections are taken once per week. Your doctor or healthcare professional will show you how to inject Trulicity.

Don’t inject Trulicity unless you know how.

Trulicity is usually packaged as pre-filled syringes.

Each syringe is to be used only once, for one injection. Do not re-use a Trulicity syringe over more than one week. Throw the syringe away after use, even if there is some left over.

Trulicity should be injected on the same day of each week. If you can, try to inject it at roughly the same time of day, too. If you realise that you’ve missed an injectio, think how long there is until your next one. If there’s less than three days until your next injectio, leave it. If there’s more than three days, inject as soon as you realise.
