Trulicity

The recommended adult starting dose of Trulicity (Dulaglutide) is 0.75 mg, injected subcutaneously (under the skin), once a week. It may be injected at any time of the day, without regard to meals. If necessary, your doctor may increase the dose to a maximum of 1.5 mg once weekly. Do not change your dose unless your doctor has told you to do so. Your doctor or diabetes educator will show you how to inject Trulicity (Dulaglutide).

If you are also using insulin, each medication should be injected separately. Trulicity (Dulaglutide) should be clear and colourless. Do not use Trulicity (Dulaglutide) if you notice anything unusual in the appearance of the solution, such as cloudiness, discolouration, or clumping.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Trulicity (Dulaglutide) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, inject it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is less than 3 days until your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
