Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml 

Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml is an anti-diabetic medication used primarily to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally elevated blood sugar levels. It happens when insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreatic’s beta cells) is unable to break down glucose into energy (insulin resistance), or when the pancreas produces insufficient or no insulin at all.

Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml includes Dulaglutide, a ‘incretin mimetic’ medication. Dulaglutide works by raising pancreatic insulin secretion during periods of elevated blood sugar (after meals) and decreasing the quantity of sugar produced by the liver. Additionally, Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml reduces the risk of heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.

The dose and duration of Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml will be determined by your doctor based on your medical condition. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, decreased appetite, stomach pain, constipation, and fatigue are all frequent adverse effects of Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml. These adverse effects are not universal and vary by individual. Consult your doctor if you have any uncontrollable adverse effects.

Inform your doctor before to beginning Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml if you have a family history of heart, renal, or liver illness. To avoid hypoglycemia when using Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml, it is recommended that you limit your alcohol intake. Consult your doctor before beginning Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml may cause fatigue; thus, do not drive or operate machinery until you feel better.

Medicinal Advantages

Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is an incretin mimic that acts similarly to a naturally occurring hormone called Incretin (a metabolic hormone that stimulates a decrease in blood glucose levels). It works by increasing pancreatic insulin secretion during periods of elevated blood sugar (after meals) and decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. Additionally, Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml decreases the risk of major heart disorders such as heart attack or stroke in people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml may be prescribed alone or in combination with other drugs to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Use Instructions

Your doctor will determine the dosage based on the severity of your disease and your tolerance. Your doctor may begin with a low dose and gradually increase it to a level that achieves the desired blood glucose control.

Concern for Patients

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels. Adult-onset diabetes mellitus is another term for diabetes mellitus. It happens when insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreatic’s beta cells) is ineffective in breaking down glucose to produce energy (insulin resistance), or when the pancreas (an organ beneath the stomach) produces insufficient or no insulin. Although this disease is more prevalent in persons over the age of 40, it can occur in children as well, depending on the risk factors. Treatment consists of oral glucose-lowering medications and insulin injections.

FAQs

Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml includes Dulaglutide, which stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin after meals when your blood glucose levels are too high. Thus, Dulaglutide contributes to the reduction of blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Dulaglutide may cause hypoglycemia, which can make you feel hungry, dizzy, irritable, confused, worried, or shaky. As a result, it is recommended to take Dulaglutide with food. To cure hypoglycemia quickly, it is recommended to consume or consume fast-acting sugar sources such as fruit juices, hard candy, raisins, or non-diet cola.

Only use injectable solution that is clear, colorless, and particle-free. Subcutaneously (under the skin) in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, administer the injection. Your physician or nurse will instruct you on how to administer the injection. Dulaglutide may be taken with or without food. However, it is recommended to take the injection after a meal to avoid hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal adverse effects. Sharing an injectable pen, cartridge, or syringe with another person is not permitted, even if the needle has been replaced.

Dulaglutide may be used alone or in combination with other drugs to help control your blood sugar levels. Dulaglutide should be combined with other anti-diabetic medications only if your doctor prescribes it. Dulaglutide and insulin injections should be taken separately if you are also taking insulin. Kindly do not combine them. Both injections can be administered in the same body location, but the injection sites should not be adjacent to one another.

As soon as feasible, take the missed dose. If, however, the next dose is approaching, skip the missing dose and resume your regular dosing plan. Contrary to popular belief, do not double the dose.

Refrigerate any unused Dulaglutide at a temperature of 2°C to 8°C, away from direct sunlight. Dulaglutide may also be stored at room temperature between 15°C and 30°C for up to 14 days prior to use. Dulaglutide should not be frozen. Trulicity 1.5 mg Pre-Filled Pen 0.5 ml should not be used if it is frozen.
