Monograph
A10BJ05 - Dulaglutide |
Propably not porphyrinogenic |
PNP |
Important Information
Nausea and vomiting are reported are very common side effects of dulaglutide that may potentially be porphyrinogenic if leading to a decrease in carbohydrate intake.
Side effects
Nausea and vomiting is reported as very common adverse reactions of dulaglutid especially when used in doses of 1,5 mg weekly (Thompson 2015). These side effects may potentially be porphyrinogenic if leading to a decrease in carbohydrate intake.
Rationale
Dulaglutide is not metabolized by CYP, and is not an inducer or inhibitor of CYP.
Chemical description
Dulaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.
Therapeutic characteristics
Dulaglutide is indicated in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control
It is administered once weekly as a subcutaneous injection.
Metabolism and pharmacokinetics
Dulaglutide is presumed to be degraded into its component amino acids by general protein catabolism pathways (SPC).
Dulaglutide is not expected to affect the cytochrome P450 system, and no CYP related interactions are listed in drug-drug interaction databases.

This list comprises raw data collected from different countries.
In some cases, a more comprehensive list of available drug packages is included.
Consequently, very similar terms may therefore appear multiple times.
Bold names are the searchable terms, while the gray names that follow are all mapped to the bolded term.
Note: The cleaning is done automatically by a proprietary algorithm, and it may produce errors.
We strive to improve it continuously.
