A: Before injecting the medicine, wash your hands and inspect your Trulicity pen. The pen has parts which are made of glass. Use a new one if you drop it. You can inject the medicine below the skin of the abdomen or thigh. You can inject into the same body area each week, but try not to use the exact same spot. Your doctor can help you identify a suitable injection site.
Q: How do I store my Trulicity pen?
A: Store your Trulicity pen in the refrigerator. When refrigeration is not possible, you can also store it at room temperature (less than 30°C) for up to 2 weeks. Store the pen away from light in the original pack until you are ready to use it.
Q: What should I do if I miss a dose of Trulicity pen?
A: A missed dose of Trulicity can be safely taken for upto 3 days after the regularly scheduled dosing day. For example, if the schedule for normal dose is on Monday, the patient can take Trulicity until Thursday in case of a missed dose. However, If the dose is not administered on the following Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, patients should wait until the following Monday, thus resuming their normal dosing schedule. A patient should not take 2 doses of Trulicity within 72 hours of each other.
Q: What should I do with my used pens of Trulicity?
A: Put your used pens in a closeable sharps container to prevent accidental needle sticks. Some areas have special rules about what to do with used pens. So be sure to ask your health care provider about it.
Q: What will happen if I use Trulicity in excess?
A: Excess of Trulicity can drop your blood sugar to very low levels (hypoglycemia) and make you feel sick. Talk to your doctor immediately.
Q: What should I do in case I experience any of the side-effects of Trulicity?
A: The most common gastrointestinal side effects with Trulicity includes nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and decreased appetite.
