Abstract

Dulaglutide (Trulicity—Eli Lilly), a glucagonlike peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonist, is the third once-weekly injection to be approved by FDA as an adjunct to diet and exercise in adults with type 2 diabetes. Exenatide extended-release (Bydureon—Astra Zeneca) and albiglutide (Tanzeum—GlaxoSmothKline) are already on the market, with the approval of dulaglutide offering clinicians another treatment option after initial antidiabetic treatment strategies, such as diet and lifestyle modifications and metformin, fail.
