Description
Product Introduction:
Aplevant 1.5mg Pre-filled Pen is an injectable medication used to help manage blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works by stimulating the body to produce insulin and reducing the amount of sugar produced by the liver, thus helping to lower blood glucose levels. This medication is most effective when combined with a proper diet and exercise routine.
SALT COMPOSITION:
- Dulaglutide (1.5mg)
How Aplevant Works: Aplevant 1.5mg works as an anti-diabetic treatment. It increases insulin release from the pancreas in response to meals, decreases the release of hormones that elevate blood sugar, slows down digestion, and helps reduce appetite.

- The medicine can be administered at any time of day, with or without food.
- For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to inject the medicine on the same day each week.

- Do not stop the medication without consulting your doctor as it may lead to increased blood glucose levels and serious complications.
