Trulicity Tips from Pharmacists

  • Trulicity works in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise to help control blood sugar levels. Try to eat healthily and get regular exercise for better blood sugar control.

  • Trulicity should be injected into the skin of your upper arm, stomach, or thigh. Do not inject this medicine into a vein or muscle.

  • Inject Trulicity on the same day of the week every week. You can change your injection day, but make sure two successive doses are at least 3 days apart when making a switch.

  • Rotate between your upper arm, belly, and thigh as the weekly injection site to avoid irritating the skin in any one area.

  • Never share your Trulicity pen with others. Do not reuse needles. This can put you at risk of serious infections.

  • Store unopened Trulicity pens in the refrigerator. You can also store a pen at room temperature for up to 14 days.
