What the Trulicity label says
- Overdoses reported in clinical studies mainly caused mild or moderate stomach effects, such as nausea and vomiting, and low blood sugar that was not severe.[1]
- If you take too much, the Medication Guide says to call your healthcare provider or the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222, or go to the nearest emergency room.[1]
- Drug levels peak 24 to 72 hours after a dose (median 48 hours) and the elimination half-life is about 5 days; the label gives no time course for an overdose.[1]
- Taken with insulin or a sulfonylurea, Trulicity can raise the risk of low blood sugar, including severe episodes.[1]
Glucose and symptoms for the next seven days

- Low blood sugar signs that do not settle: confusion or drowsiness, slurred speech, blurred vision, shakiness or a fast heartbeat.[1]
- Pain in the stomach area that is severe and will not go away, with or without nausea or vomiting.[1]
- Vomiting or diarrhea that stops you keeping fluids down: the fluid loss can cause kidney problems.[1]
To ask Poison Control or your prescriber
- Should my next weekly dose be taken on its usual day, moved, or skipped?
- Should I lower or pause my insulin or sulfonylurea, and for how many days?
- How often should I check my glucose this week, including overnight?
- Which symptoms mean I should go to the emergency department rather than wait?
