Can I use Trulicity 3 mg right away if I have a thyroid tumor?

Whether you can use Trulicity for a thyroid tumour is decided by the doctor treating you. It may be necessary to treat one health problem first, which can also have a positive effect on the treatment of diabetes. As for the dose itself and the question of whether you can use a dose of 3 mg instead of 0.75 mg at once, it is not recommended to do so (the dose can be increased gradually so that the body can "adapt"). As monotherapy (only this drug) a dose of 0.75 mg / week is used, in adjuvant therapy 1.5 mg / week. However, for additional glycemic control: • the dose of 1.5 mg can be increased after at least 4 weeks to 3 mg once a week; • the dose of 3 mg can be increased after at least 4 weeks to 4.5 mg once a week. The maximum dose is 4.5 mg once a week. Gradual increase in doses is primarily aimed at reducing the risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea.
