TRULICITY (DULAGLUTIDA)

Trulicity is a medication used for the management of type 2 diabetes. It helps to lower blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion and reducing glucagon levels, leading to improved glycemic control. It is usually prescribed along with diet and exercise.

Brand Names:

  • Trulicity

Forms:

  • Injectable solution

Dosage: The typical starting dose is 0.75 mg once a week. Based on the patient's response and tolerability, the dose may be increased to 1.5 mg once a week. It is administered via subcutaneous injection.

Composition:

  • Dulaglutide (0.75 mg, 1.5 mg)

Mechanism of Action: Dulaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the action of the natural hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). It enhances insulin secretion in response to meals, suppresses glucagon release, and slows gastric emptying, which helps to lower blood sugar levels.
