Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Trulicity is a prescription medication for lowering blood sugar and commonly prescribed for people with Type 2 diabetes.

Inject medication under the skin in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm as directed by your doctor, and the standard Trulicity dosage is one injection a week.

The possibility of drug interaction risk exists between Trulicity and other Rx medications, and beta-blocker medications most notably, including metoprolol, propanol, and timolol. It may be possible that other drugs pose interaction risks too, and so it's always advisable to tell your doctor of all medications you are currently taking before getting a prescription and proceeding to buy Trulicity.
Trulicity side effects are rare, but some people may experience nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, decrease appetite, tiredness, or weakness. If Trulicity side effects are experienced, you should discontinue use of the medication and speak with your doctor again regarding blood sugar lowering medication options.
