How TRULICITY 1.5MG/0.5ML INJ Works

Dulaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion and lowers inappropriate glucagon release. It also slows gastric emptying and helps reduce appetite, leading to improved blood sugar control and weight reduction in many patients.

Dosage & Directions

For subcutaneous use only (abdomen, thigh, or upper arm). Usually injected once weekly, on the same day each week, with or without food; rotate injection sites and do not inject into a vein or muscle. If a dose is missed, take it within 3 days (72 hours) of the missed dose; otherwise skip and take the next dose on the regular day (follow doctor’s advice).

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
