Buy Dulaglutide (Trulicity) Injection Pens

Trulicity is the brand name for a molecule used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The generic name is Dulaglutide. It is a relatively new product and is a type of injectable therapy, but it is not insulin. It comes in the form of a disposable single use pen in either 0.75mg dose and 1.5mg dose, making it relatively safe and easy to administer.

Dulaglutide (Trulicity) is the synthetic version of a naturally occurring human hormone, called Glucagon-like peptide 1 or GLP-1 that is administered once weekly.

Whether you have diabetes, or you don’t have diabetes, we all make GLP-1. It has become clear that GLP-1 is a really important hormone to help us regulate our blood sugar levels.

How is Trulicity (Dulaglutide) different from GLP-1?

GLP-1 is a naturally occurring hormone found in all people. Trulicity (Dulaglutide) shares 90% of the same structure as human GLP-1 but is synthetically manufactured. Dulaglutide has been modified structurally to prevent it from being broken down by an enzyme in the blood called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 or DPP-4.

The formulation causes Trulicity to have a long duration of action and it is an example of a once weekly GLP-1. Another example of long acting GLP-1 is Ozempic (generic name Semaglutide).

Drugs that block the action of DPP-4 are called DPP-4 inhibitors and these have been used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes for many years. By blocking the enzyme that breaks down naturally occurring GLP-1 they increase amount of GLP-1 in the body. (Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus). Examples of DPP-4 inhibitors include:

sitagliptin (Januvia)

valdagliptin (Galvus)

saxagliptin (Onglyza)

linagliptin (Tradjenta)

alogliptin (Nesina)

How does Trulicity (Dulaglutide) work?
