Dulaglutide and Trulicity are oftentimes used interchangeably. However, Trulicity is the brand name of the medication that contains the active ingredient, dulaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist that is used to control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, dulaglutide may be prescribed off-label by some doctors for weight loss.
Some people who use dulaglutide may develop side effects that are common across other types of GLP-1 receptor agonist medications like semaglutide or liraglutide. These adverse effects include stomach paralysis, bowel obstruction, and vision loss. If you experience any of these conditions, you may file a claim, and Atraxia Law can help you gather and review your documents.
In case you need help filing a claim, Atraxia Law can offer assistance by evaluating your documents for eligibility. Some of these would be a medical certificate, medical records, and your doctor’s prescription. Even so, it is best to know that if your doctor prescribed dulaglutide for weight loss instead of type 2 diabetes management, this may affect the outcome of your claim since dulaglutide is not FDA-approved as a weight loss medication.
