Medication name:Trajenta 5 mg Tablets<\/p>\n
Drug class
\nDipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor.<\/p>\n
Use
\nTrajenta is used to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
\nIt is prescribed as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes diet and exercise.
\nIt may be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin.<\/p>\n
How it works
\nTrajenta contains Linagliptin, which belongs to a class of medications known as DPP-4 inhibitors.
\nIt works by increasing the levels of natural hormones called incretins that regulate blood sugar.
\nThese hormones help the pancreas release more insulin after meals and reduce glucose production by the liver.
\nThis leads to smoother and more stable blood sugar control throughout the day.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration
\nThe usual recommended dose is one 5 mg tablet taken once daily, with or without food.
\nIt can be taken at any time of the day, but it should be taken at the same time each day for best results.
\nThe tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed.<\/p>\n
Side effects
\nMost people tolerate Trajenta well.
\nCommon side effects may include mild respiratory symptoms such as cough, sore throat, or nasal congestion.
\nIn rare cases, joint pain, allergic reactions, or pancreatitis may occur.
\nWhen used with other blood sugar\u2013lowering medications such as sulfonylureas or insulin, hypoglycemia can sometimes develop.<\/p>\n
Precautions
\nInform your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis or severe liver disease.
\nRegular blood sugar monitoring is recommended.
\nThis medication is not intended for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
\nAvoid using it without medical supervision, especially in combination therapies.<\/p>\n
