Dose Track reminds you on your Trulicity day, logs each single-dose pen with its injection site, and counts the pens left in your carton of 4. Each step from 0.75 mg up to 4.5 mg is recorded from the day it starts, next to your HbA1c.
Per the FDA label, Trulicity starts at 0.75 mg once weekly. After 4 weeks the dose may be raised to 1.5 mg, and if more glycemic control is needed it can rise in 1.5 mg steps (3 mg, then 4.5 mg) after at least 4 weeks on each dose. The label's maximum is 4.5 mg once weekly (2.1).
| When | Dose on the label | Label note |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–4 | 0.75 mg once weekly | Recommended starting dosage |
| Weeks 5–8 | 1.5 mg once weekly | Optional step: the label says the dosage may be increased after 4 weeks for additional glycemic control |
| Weeks 9–12 | 3 mg once weekly | Only if additional glycemic control is needed, after at least 4 weeks on 1.5 mg |
| Week 13 onward | 4.5 mg once weekly | Maximum recommended dosage; after at least 4 weeks on 3 mg |
In Dose Track, Trulicity is a weekly medication on your chosen day. Steps after 1.5 mg come only after at least 4 weeks on the dose before, so the date of each change is worth recording.
Every Trulicity pen is single-dose: one pen per week, 4 pens per carton, nothing to dial or mix. Add your carton in Dose Track and each logged shot takes one pen off.

| What to track | Why it matters | In Dose Track |
|---|---|---|
| Pen day | The label gives Trulicity once weekly, any time of day, with or without food (2.4). | A weekly reminder; logging on another day asks if it is a one-off or a new day. |
| Dose step | 0.75 mg to start, then 1.5 mg, with 3 mg and 4.5 mg steps after at least 4 weeks each (2.1). | Record each new dose from the date it starts. |
| Pens left | Single-dose pens, 4 per carton (3, 16.1). | Count pens; each shot takes one off, with run-out and order-by dates. |
| HbA1c | Trulicity is labeled for blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes. | Upload labs; HbA1c goes on your timeline next to your doses. |
| Injection site | Abdomen, thigh or upper arm, rotated with each dose (2.4). | Each shot logged with its site; the next one suggested. |
| Reaction | Placebo (N=568) | Trulicity 0.75 mg (N=836) | Trulicity 1.5 mg (N=834) |

Dose Track has quick picks for the side effects people on GLP-1 medicines log most: nausea, constipation, diarrhea, reflux or heartburn, tiredness, low appetite, injection-site reaction and headache. You can type in anything else, set how bad it was, and see it next to the dose and the dose step you were on.
Trulicity side effects from the FDA label
Per the label, a missed dose is given as soon as possible if at least 3 days (72 hours) remain until the next scheduled dose; if fewer than 3 days remain, the missed dose is skipped and the next dose is taken on the regular day. The weekly day can be changed if the last dose was 3 or more days earlier. (2.3) Missed a Trulicity dose.
In Dose Track a missed dose stands out in your history, so you can see the gap and count from the right day.
