How many doses come in a Trulicity starter box?

A Trulicity starter box contains four weekly doses.
The package includes four single-dose pens, each delivering 0.75 mg of dulaglutide, covering the first four weeks of treatment.

What happens after the starter box is finished?
Patients usually move to a 4-pen maintenance pack that continues the same weekly schedule. Some people later increase to the 1.5 mg strength, but the number of pens per box stays at four.

How does dosing change over time?
The starter box uses the lowest 0.75 mg dose to help the body adjust. After four weeks, doctors may keep the dose the same or raise it to 1.5 mg, 3 mg, or 4.5 mg depending on blood-sugar response and tolerance.

Can you get more than four pens at once?
Retail boxes are sold only in sets of four pens. Larger quantities require multiple boxes or a 3-month mail-order supply.

When does the Trulicity patent expire?
The primary U.S. patent listed on DrugPatentWatch.com is set to expire in December 2027, although several related patents extend protection into the early 2030s.

Who makes Trulicity?
