Dulaglutide
Trulicity (dulaglutide) is a medication in a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It is used alongside diet and exercise to help adults and children aged 10 and older with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. Additionally, for adults with type 2 diabetes who have heart disease or risk factors, Trulicity can help lower their risk of serious heart problems like heart attack or stroke.
Exenatide
Exenatide (brand name: Exenatide) is a medication in the GLP-1 receptor agonist class, used to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body that helps release insulin when your blood sugar is high, thereby improving glycemic control when used with diet and exercise.
Liraglutide
Liraglutide (Victoza) is a type of medicine that mimics a natural hormone in your body. It is prescribed to help adults and children aged 10 and older with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels, and it can also lower the risk of serious heart problems like heart attack or stroke in adults with type 2 diabetes and existing heart disease. It works by helping your body release insulin when needed and reducing the amount of sugar your liver makes.
Oral semaglutide
Oral semaglutide (brand names Ozempic, Rybelsus) is a medication that helps adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. It works by mimicking a natural hormone in the body, which also helps reduce the risk of serious heart problems like heart attack or stroke in those with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk.
Semaglutide
Wegovy is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. It is used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity to help adults and children aged 12 and older lose weight and keep it off, especially for those with obesity or who are overweight with related health conditions. Wegovy also helps reduce the risk of serious heart problems like heart attack or stroke in adults with existing heart disease and obesity or overweight.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is a prescription medicine used along with diet and exercise to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. It works by mimicking natural hormones in your body that help control blood sugar and can also aid in weight management.
