Dulaglutide Pharmacology

October 08, 2020

Dulaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist used in the management of diabetes.

Dulaglutide has 4 different dosages that can be used to help lower A1C. As the dose goes up, so does the potential for adverse effects however.

Like most of the GLP-1 agonists, dulaglutide is only available as an injection. Semaglutide is an exception to this.

Nausea is the primary adverse effect of dulaglutide which some patients may get used to over time.
