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.
Formoterol is a long-acting bronchodilator used to treat asthma and prevent bronchospasm in patients. It is often used together with other medicines, such as inhaled corticosteroids. It is also used to prevent or decrease wheezing and trouble breathing caused by asthma or COPD. Formoterol works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, allowing more air to flow into and out of the lungs. It is available in inhalation form and is known by brand names such as Perforomist and Symbicort. It is not a steroid but is often used in conjunction with steroids.
Semaglutide Tablets are used to treat type 2 diabetes by increasing insulin levels in the body and decreasing blood sugar levels. They are available in 3mg, 7mg, and 14mg tablets and are taken orally. Semaglutide Tablets have also been approved for weight loss, with clinical trials showing superior efficacy compared to other medications. The cost of Semaglutide Tablets can vary depending on the pharmacy, with the oral tablet 3mg costing around $949 for a supply of 30. They are only available with a doctor's prescription. Possible side effects of Semaglutide Tablets include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain.
The Ozempic Pen is a once-weekly injectable medication used to control high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, when taken along with a proper diet and exercise program. The medication is available in three multiuse pens that deliver doses of 0.25mg and 0.5mg. Patients typically use this pen to take 4 doses of the starting dose (0.25mg) then 2 doses of the next highest dose (0.5mg) before switching to a new pen. Research suggests that people who take Ozempic may lose modest amounts of weight while on the medication, but it is not officially a weight loss drug. It takes a few weeks to start seeing the effects of weight loss from Ozempic. It is important to never share an Ozempic Pen between patients, even if the needle is changed.
Rabeprazole sodium is a medication used to treat ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach. It is classified as a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and works by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid production. Rabeprazole sodium may also be used in combination with antibiotics to treat ulcers caused by H. Pylori infections. This medication can have side effects such as diarrhea, bone fractures, and vitamin B12 deficiency with prolonged use. It is important to inform a doctor if any new symptoms arise while taking rabeprazole sodium, such as decreased urine output or blood in the urine. Overall, the medication can be effective in treating certain stomach and esophagus problems but should be used under a doctor's supervision.
