My Doctor Is Putting Me On Trulicity, Wondering If It Works Well?
It is rated as the number 2 drug in it's class just barely behind Ozempic
Both work the same it's just Trulicity is a little older formula (been on the market for 10 years compared to 5 for Ozempic)
Both are highly rated at lowering blood sugar, providing heart protection including reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke
Trulicity being a slightly older formula is noted to have a low blood sugar risk, so just have to watch and the physical dosage size is (larger) then the newer ones in the class
They all have the same common side effect as most drugs do - the upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea etc when you first start the drug and when you increase the dose - both are usually ramped up in 3 (Ozempic) or 4 (Trulicity) stages to get to the final dosage
And all in the class have the same potential dangerous side effects including Thyroid problems or Kidney Problems but since the "what will happen if you don't control your blood sugar" is super nasty, it's always a balance against what WILL happen compared to something that might
Trulicity is made in the US by Eli Lilly if that matters while Ozempic is made by Novo Nordisk in Denmark
The Newest drug in this class is called Mounjaro and is the "best rated" of the class - has only been out since last year and it improved on these earlier recipes, but all are highly rated and considered the best drug class currently for managing A1C, losing a bit of weight and protecting the vascular system
Thanks for the info.
I have to agree with who wrote the comment above. I am a testimony. Been on Trulicity for 5 years now. The nausea and all that will be a bit uncomfortable but it does calm doen enough whete younwill be able.to tolerate the stomach issue. I have not bombed out since i been on Trulicity. I lost 3 pants size and lost over a hundred and ren pounds. My diabetes is has been un detectable for two years now! Just had my blood work done and i am at 5.6.....
I was on Trulicity 3 years, excellent control lost excessive weight, my current BMI is 22 A1C went from 14 currently 6.5 on oral medications now.
Trulicity (Dulaglutide) is a prescription drug approved by the FDA to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It works by mimicking the effects of incretin, which signals the pancreas to produce more insulin and prevents the liver from releasing glucose, thereby helping to normalize blood glucose levels.
