Trulicity side-effect diary to bring to your prescriber
Online reviews rarely say the dose, the timing or what else changed. Record those details for your own symptoms, compare them with the label's numbers, and take the diary to your next appointment.

Label numbers to set beside your diary
- Nausea in the label's placebo-controlled pool: 12.4% on 0.75 mg and 21.1% on 1.5 mg, against 5.3% on placebo.[1]
- Fatigue, which in that table also counts weakness (asthenia) and malaise: 4.2% on 0.75 mg and 5.6% on 1.5 mg, against 2.6% on placebo.[1]
- Injection-site reactions such as rash or redness: 0.5% on Trulicity, 0.0% on placebo.[1]
- Confirmed pancreatitis in the original registration studies: 1.4 cases per 1,000 patient-years on Trulicity, against 0.88 per 1,000 on non-incretin comparators.[1]
Act now, not at the next appointment
- Severe pain in your stomach area that will not go away, with or without nausea or vomiting: stop Trulicity and call your healthcare provider right away.[1]
- Pain in the upper stomach, fever, yellowing of skin or eyes, or clay-colored stools: tell your healthcare provider right away (possible gallbladder problem).[1]
- A lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing or shortness of breath: tell your healthcare provider.[1]
For the appointment
- My nausea came back after the last dose increase. Should the next step wait?
- Could my tiredness come from eating less, and should we check anything else?
- Which of my other medicines could make low blood sugar more likely?
- Is the lump or redness where I inject something to look at?
- Is my weight change in line with what the trials of my dose found?
