Trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine used to improve blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, which should be taken along with diet and exercise. It helps control high blood sugar levels and may lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death related to heart disease. Trulicity is also shown to help with weight loss. Some common side effects of Trulicity include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, indigestion, and fatigue. Dulaglutide is the active ingredient in Trulicity. It is used to control high blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Trulicity and Ozempic are both used to treat Type 2 diabetes, but Trulicity is approved for this use in more people than Ozempic.
Dulaglutide, also known as Trulicity, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine that improves blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Dulaglutide is used together with diet and exercise to control blood sugar. It is a subcutaneous glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist designed using recombinant DNA technology. It is similar to a natural hormone in the body known as incretin, and it works by causing insulin release in response to high blood sugar levels. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, indigestion, and fatigue. Dulaglutide should only be used under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare provider.
Ozempic is a once-weekly injection medication used to improve blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes when used alongside diet and exercise. It stimulates insulin secretion to lower fasting and postprandial blood glucose. Another brand of semaglutide, Wegovy, is approved for weight loss, but Ozempic is not. Ozempic and metformin are both antidiabetic medications that control blood sugar. Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Developed by Novo Nordisk in 2012, it is an antidiabetic medication also used as an anti-obesity medication for long-term weight management.
Semaglutide Ozempic is a once-weekly injection for adults with type 2 diabetes that, when used in combination with diet and exercise, can improve blood sugar levels. It is not a weight-loss drug, but a third of people who take it for weight loss can lose 10% or more of their body weight. Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, and the maximum dose of Wegovy caused more significant weight loss than the typical maintenance dose of Ozempic. Semaglutide works quickly, with patients experiencing more than a 2% reduction in body weight after just four weeks of taking it. Side effects may occur, so it is important to speak with a doctor before taking Semaglutide Ozempic.
