How many trulicity injections are in a pen?

How many doses come in each Trulicity pen?

Trulicity pens deliver one dose per pen. Each single-use pen contains 0.75 mg, 1.5 mg, 3 mg, or 4.5 mg of dulaglutide in 0.5 mL of solution and gets thrown away after one injection. [1]

Why do some pens hold four weeks of medication?

The search term "four-week supply" refers to a 4-pen carton, not a single pen. Manufacturers package four pens together so patients who inject once weekly receive a month's supply in one box. [2]

What happens if you try to use a single-use pen more than once?

Trulicity pens are designed for one injection only. Attempting to reuse the needle or pen increases infection risk and may deliver inaccurate dosing. The manufacturer warns against sharing or reusing any part of the pen. [3]

When does the Trulicity patent expire?

The compound patent for dulaglutide expires in December 2027. Biosimilar versions could reach the U.S. market once that date arrives. [4]

How does Trulicity compare to Ozempic pens?

Trulicity uses single-use pens while Ozempic uses multi-dose pens that can hold four doses. This makes Trulicity simpler for patients who prefer discarding the pen after each weekly injection, but requires buying more pens for a full supply. [5]

Who manufactures Trulicity?

Eli Lilly manufactures Trulicity. [6]
