Frequently asked questions

What is Trulicity 1.5 mg/0.5mL used for?+
Trulicity 1.5 mg/0.5mL is used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults and pediatric patients 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is also used to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have established cardiovascular disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors.
How does Dulaglutide work?+
Dulaglutide, the active ingredient in Trulicity, activates the GLP-1 receptor, which increases intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) in pancreatic beta cells. This leads to glucose-dependent insulin release, decreases glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying, contributing to improved glycemic control.
What is the usual dose of Trulicity 1.5 mg/0.5mL?+
The recommended starting dosage of Trulicity is 0.75 mg injected subcutaneously once weekly. The dosage may be increased to 1.5 mg once weekly for additional glycemic control. If further control is needed, the dosage can be increased in 1.5 mg increments after at least 4 weeks on the current dosage. The maximum recommended dosage is 4.5 mg injected subcutaneously once weekly. The prescriber sets the exact regimen based on individual patient needs.

How does Trulicity compare to other diabetes medications?+
Trulicity is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, which distinguishes it from other classes of diabetes medications such as DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, and insulin. Its mechanism of action, which includes increasing insulin release, decreasing glucagon secretion, and slowing gastric emptying, makes it unique in its approach to glycemic control.
