Trulicity can sometimes cause serious side effects in your stomach or intestines. These include gastroparesis (a condition in which your stomach can’t empty normally). Trulicity hasn’t been studied in people with severe gastrointestinal disease. It’s not recommended for these people. Switching between Ozempic and Trulicity You might be interested in switching from Ozempic to Trulicity or vice versa. For instance, if one drug doesn’t control your blood sugar well enough, you may wonder if switching to a different drug would help. You might also wonder about switching if you have troublesome side effects from one of these drugs. Switching between these drugs is possible, but your doctor might not recommend it. That’s because these drugs work in the same way, so if your blood sugar is still too high while taking one of them, it’s unlikely to improve with a switch to the other drug. If your blood sugar isn’t well controlled with one of these drugs, your doctor is more likely to recommend adding a different type of medication to your treatment schedule. But switching between these drugs might be an option if one of these drugs is working for you but is causing certain side effects. If you’re worried about side effects or whether your treatment is working, talk with your doctor. They can let you know if switching to Ozempic or Trulicity is a good option for you. Never switch your medications without your doctor’s approval and guidance.
