Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a generic for dulaglutide (Trulicity)?
No — dulaglutide is still under patent as of 2025. All GLP-1 agonists remain brand-only at high prices. Compounded semaglutide from Script Unlock pharmacies is a lower-cost injectable GLP-1 option during shortage periods.
How does dulaglutide compare to semaglutide (Ozempic)?
Both are once-weekly GLP-1 injections for type 2 diabetes. Head-to-head trials show semaglutide achieves greater HbA1c reduction and weight loss. Dulaglutide may be preferred for ease of use with its single-use pen.
What is the primary cardiovascular benefit of dulaglutide?
The REWIND trial showed dulaglutide reduced major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with type 2 diabetes — including those without established cardiovascular disease.
Does dulaglutide cause weight loss?
Dulaglutide produces moderate weight loss of 2–4 kg on average. This is less than semaglutide or tirzepatide, but meaningful for many patients.
Can Script Unlock help with Trulicity (dulaglutide) costs?
Script Unlock pharmacies compete on brand pricing. For those primarily seeking weight loss, compounded semaglutide via Script Unlock may offer a more affordable alternative during shortage periods.
