Trulicity is a once-weekly injectable prescription medicine to improve blood sugar (glucose) in adults and children 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It should be used along with diet and exercise. It is not known if TRULICITY can be used in people who have had pancreatitis.

Trulicity is used in adults with type 2 diabetes to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events (problems having to do with the heart and blood vessels) such as death, heart attack, or stroke in people who have heart disease or multiple cardiovascular risk factors.

While Trulicity isn't FDA approved for weight loss, it's been shown to help people lose weight, especially at a dose of 4.5 mg per week. The most common side effects are related to the stomach, like nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. Trulicity shouldn't be used in people without Type 2 diabetes.

Trulicity may cause tumors in the thyroid, including thyroid cancer. Watch for possible symptoms, such as a lump or swelling in the neck, trouble swallowing, hoarseness, or shortness of breath. If you have any of these symptoms, tell your healthcare provider.

SAFETY SUMMARY WITH WARNINGS Trulicity may cause tumors in the thyroid, including thyroid cancer. Watch for possible symptoms, such as a lump or swelling in the neck, trouble swallowing, hoarseness, or shortness of breath.

Studies have shown that Trulicity can lead to more weight loss than metformin alone. It's also been shown to cause more weight loss than sitagliptin (Januvia), another popular diabetes medication, when added to metformin. The amount of weight you can lose with Trulicity may depend on the dose.

Trulicity should not be used by people with type 1 diabetes, people with diabetic ketoacidosis, or people with a history of severe stomach or intestinal problems.

Trulicity mimics the effects of GLP-1, a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and lowers glucagon secretion from the liver. It lowers blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes and may reduce body weight; however, it does not appear to be as effective as Ozempic.

Official answer. No, Trulicity is not a form of insulin. Trulicity mimics the effects of GLP-1 a naturally occurring hormone that stimulates insulin secretion. Trulicity is only suitable for people with type 2 diabetes who still have functioning insulin-producing cells in their pancreas.
