Dulaglutide is used as the active ingredient in Eli Lilly’s Trulicity. This works as a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and weight and also reduces cardiovascular risks for those suffering from type II diabetes.
Over 460 million people have diabetes, and 90% of them have type II diabetes. In 2019, Trulicity was the no. 1 prescribed GLP-1 medicine in the US. Eli Lilly makes dulaglutide’s benefits well-known, but details about possible severe medical conditions that can result from it aren’t as marketed.
A study found in the National Library of Medicine (NLM) shows that the three most common side effects experienced by patients undergoing dulaglutide treatment are nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. The study also discovered that the higher the dosage, the more likely side effects are to occur. Eli Lilly has recognized these side effects, but what about the rest?
Dulaglutide can also result in more serious medical conditions that aren’t just tough to deal with but are also expensive to treat. These medical conditions can also make you eligible to file a claim. The more severe conditions caused by dulaglutide include:
If you or a relative has experienced these conditions after Trulicity treatment, contact us as soon as possible. Reach out to us to see if you are eligible to file a dulaglutide claim if you experienced persistent vomiting (4 weeks) with hospitalization or ER visit while taking the drug or within 60 days of stopping and if you were hospitalized for any gastric issue while using dulaglutide.
Dulaglutide is marketed as Trulicity by Eli Lilly, an American pharma company based in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was approved by the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) in 2014 and is currently one of the most commonly prescribed treatments for treating type II diabetes. It’s administered once per week in easy-to-use autoinjector pens in doses of 0.75 mg, 1.5 mg, 3.0 mg, and 4.5 mg.
Did you or a relative experience these medical conditions after undergoing treatment with Trulicity? If you answer yes, then it’s likely that dulaglutide caused these medical problems to appear. Our team kickstarts the claim process by assessing your case and seeing if it’s eligible. You can do a quick assessment by considering these criteria:
As of January 2025, there are over 1,300 pending lawsuits against dulaglutide. The plaintiffs of these cases have presented that the manufacturers didn’t responsibly warn people about the serious health conditions stemming from their products.
This February, the US Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) combined these cases into MDL 3094. The case specifically tackles the serious side effects of GLP-1 medication, like gastroparesis and vision loss.
We understand that gastrointestinal problems and vision loss are serious health problems that can affect multiple aspects of your life. That’s why we’re encouraging you to reach out to us to file a claim. You can start by gathering medical records and other evidence that can support the claim that you’re suffering from problems caused by dulaglutide. Once our team sees that you have a case, we’ll link you to an attorney who can start the legal process.
