Dulaglutide (Trulicity) vs Mazdutide

An educational, source-based comparison of Dulaglutide (Trulicity) and Mazdutide — how each peptide works, what it's researched for, and what to know before going deeper.

GLP-1 Agonist · Metabolic
Dulaglutide (Trulicity)

Once-weekly GLP-1 agonist with cardiovascular benefit.

Mechanism

GLP-1 analog fused to a modified human IgG4 Fc fragment, giving a half-life that supports weekly dosing. Improves glycemia and reduces MACE in T2D.

Research areas
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Cardiovascular risk reduction in T2D
Considerations
  • FDA-approved.
  • Boxed warning: thyroid C-cell tumors in rodents.

Metabolic · Incretin
Mazdutide

GLP-1/glucagon dual agonist in Phase 3 development.

Mechanism

A dual agonist of GLP-1 and glucagon receptors, similar to survodutide. The glucagon component increases energy expenditure while GLP-1 suppresses appetite and improves glycemic control.

Research areas
  • Chronic weight management
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • MASH / NAFLD
Considerations
  • Investigational; not FDA-approved.
  • Glucagon agonism may affect heart rate and blood pressure.
