Signs include rapid weight loss, feeling sick, sweet-smelling breath, a sweet or metallic taste in your mouth, and an unusual smell to your urine or sweat.
  - You have serious problems digesting food or food staying in your stomach longer than normal (including gastroparesis).
  - You have ever had pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), which causes severe abdominal pain that does not go away.
  - You are taking sulfonylurea medications or insulin to treat your diabetes, as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may occur. Your doctor may recommend a dose adjustment of these other medications to reduce this risk.

Areas of application trulicity 3 mg kaufen

The medicine contains the active ingredient dulaglutide and is used to lower blood sugar (glucose) in adult patients with type 2 diabetes and can help prevent heart disease.
Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body doesn’t produce enough insulin, and the insulin your body does produce doesn’t work as well as it should. When this happens, blood sugar (blood glucose) rises.
It is used:
- as a sole medicine for treating diabetes if your blood sugar is not adequately controlled by diet and exercise alone and you cannot take metformin (another medicine for treating diabetes).
- or with other medicines for diabetes if they do not adequately control your blood sugar. These other medicines may be medicines you take orally and/or insulin injected.
It is important that you continue to follow the diet and exercise instructions given to you by your doctor, pharmacist or healthcare professional.
