WHAT TRULICITY IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Trulicity contains an active substance called dulaglutide and is used
to lower blood sugar (glucose) in
adults and children aged 10 years and above, with type 2 diabetes
mellitus and can help prevent heart
disease.
Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough
insulin, and the insulin that
your body produces does not work as well as it should.
When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the blood.
Trulicity is used:
-
on its own if your blood sugar is not properly controlled by diet and
exercise alone, and you
can’t take metformin (another diabetes medicine).
-
or with other medicines for diabetes when they are not enough to
control your blood sugar
levels. These other medicines may be medicines taken by mouth and/or
insulin given by
injection.
It is important to continue to follow the advice on diet and exercise
given to you by your doctor,
pharmac
