Trulicity is a once-a-week injectable medicine that can be used as a first-line medication to improve blood sugar control in adults over the age of 18 with type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking the effects of GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion from the liver.
Additionally, Trulicity, while a diabetes medication that is not U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for weight loss, is sometimes prescribed off-label for weight management. .
Because Trulicity is a GLP-1 receptor agonist like Rybelsus, Saxenda, Wegovy and Ozempic, it presents the same serious GLP-1 receptor agonist side effects including: gastrointestinal side effects, a paralyzed stomach, and other like Trulicity side effects including pancreatitis.
