Dulaglutide is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 agonists). It is used to treat type 2 diabetes.
Dulaglutide works by mimicking the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body. GLP-1 is normally released by the intestines in response to food intake and helps regulate blood sugar levels. It stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas, which helps lower blood sugar levels. Additionally, it reduces the production of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. Dulaglutide also slows down the emptying of the stomach, which helps control appetite and reduce food intake.
By activating GLP-1 receptors, dulaglutide helps to improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. It is typically used in combination with diet and exercise, and sometimes in conjunction with other diabetes medications, to help manage blood sugar levels.
