Indigo Pulchra and Dulaglutide

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

ANTIDIABETES DRUGS

Why this applies to Dulaglutide

Dulaglutide falls under ANTIDIABETES DRUGS — the group Indigo Pulchra interacts with.

Theoretically, indigo pulchra might lower blood glucose levels and might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. This might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in some patients. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the simple version: Indigo Pulchra is a product we honestly can't identify in any reliable reference, so we don't know what's in it or how it behaves in your body. The concern on file is theoretical and comes only from lab or animal data, meaning some ingredients like this might nudge blood sugar lower on their own.

Dulaglutide (Trulicity) already works to bring your blood sugar down, so if this supplement does the same, the two together could push it too low. Watch for shakiness, sweating, dizziness, hunger, or confusion. This isn't a strong or proven interaction, but since we can't confirm what the product even is, please check with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Dulaglutide page

“Because dulaglutide (Trulicity) already lowers blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes, nearly every entry on this page deserves genuine respect, and one demands it outright. Almost all of these supplements pull glucose in one direction or the other, so the danger that matters most is hypoglycemia, blood sugar dropping too low.”
