Trulicity Injection 1.5mg/0.5ml 4-Pens

Uses:

• Trulicity injection (dulaglutide) 0.5 mL is a single-use, pre-filled pen used to manage Type 2 diabetes and reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events.

• Trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medication for type 2 diabetes.

• It contains the active ingredient dulaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist.

• The medicine works by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucagon, both in a glucose-dependent manner.

• It is also prescribed to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in eligible patients.

• The injection comes in a prefilled, single-use pen with a hidden needle for patient comfort.

• It is administered subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.

• Common side effects can include nausea, diarrhea, and decreased appetite.

• The pen should be stored refrigerated until first use, then can be kept at room temperature.

• Patients must inspect the solution for particles and should not use if discolored.

• Always use under a doctor's supervision, as it is not a substitute for insulin in type 1 diabetes.
