About Trulicity
Trulicity is an injectable diabetes medication that helps control blood sugar levels. Trulicity is used with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It can also help reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Trulicity is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation as well as under different brand names, including dulaglutide.
Trulicity may be prescribed as an injection. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.
If you're prescribed Trulicity, be sure to complete the full course of the diabetes medication unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop. If you don’t complete your prescription, the prescription medicine may not fully treat your type 2 diabetes.
