Overview
Trulicity 0.75mg Pre-Filled Pen contains dulaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist given by injection once weekly to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, used alongside diet and exercise.
Dulaglutide works by mimicking a natural gut hormone that helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar is high, slows stomach emptying, and reduces appetite, together helping to lower blood sugar and support weight management.
How it Works
Trulicity mimics glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone released by the gut after eating. It stimulates insulin release from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent way, suppresses glucagon release, slows the rate at which the stomach empties, and acts on appetite centres in the brain to reduce hunger.
Directions for Use
Inject under the skin of the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, rotating the injection site each week. Follow the instructions provided with the pen carefully, and do not inject into the same spot repeatedly.
Dosage
The usual dose is one injection under the skin once weekly, on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without food. Your doctor determines the appropriate strength based on your response.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C; do not freeze. Once in use, a pen may be kept at room temperature below 30°C for a limited period as stated in the pack insert. Keep out of reach of children and protect from light.

Drug / Food Interactions
- Combining with insulin or sulfonylureas increases the risk of low blood sugar; a lower dose of the other medicine may be needed.
- May delay the absorption of other oral medicines taken at the same time due to slowed stomach emptying.
- Inform your doctor of all medicines you are taking, including other diabetes treatments.
Quick Tips
- Start with a lower dose if directed, as nausea often improves after the first few weeks of treatment.
- Recognise the signs of low blood sugar (shakiness, sweating, confusion) if you are also taking insulin or a sulfonylurea.
- If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible if there are at least 3 days until your next scheduled dose – otherwise skip it and resume your regular schedule.
- Store unused pens in the refrigerator; do not freeze.
