Dulaglutide
Dulaglutide is a medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which help the body release insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Dulaglutide is typically administered as a once-weekly injection.
In addition to lowering blood sugar, Dulaglutide may aid in weight loss and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes. It works by mimicking the effects of the hormone glucagon-like peptide-1, which helps regulate appetite and insulin secretion.
