Trulicity 0.75Mg Pen Injection

Description :

• you are on dialysis as this medicine is not recommended.
• you have type 1 diabetes (the type when your body does not produce any insulin) as this medicine may not be right for you.
• you have diabetic ketoacidosis (a complication of diabetes that occurs when the body is unable to break down glucose because there is not enough insulin). The signs include rapid weight loss, feeling sick or being sick, a sweet smell to your breath, a sweet or metallic taste in your mouth, or a different odour to your urine or sweat.
• you have severe problems with food digestion or food remaining in your stomach for longer than normal (including gastroparesis).
• you have ever had pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) which causes severe pain in the stomach and back which does not go away.
• you are taking a sulphonylurea or insulin for your diabetes, as low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) can occur. Your doctor may need to change your dose of these other medicines to reduce this risk.
• Trulicity is not an insulin and should therefore not be used as a substitute for insulin.

When initiating treatment with Trulicity, you may in some cases experience loss of fluids/dehydration, e.g. in case of vomiting, nausea and/or diarrhoea which may lead to a decrease in kidney function. It is important to avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of fluids. Contact your doctor if you have any questions or concerns
