Trajenta (Linagliptin) 5mg Tablet

Description

Trajenta (Linagliptin), available in Pakistan, is a prescription medication specifically designed for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. As a member of the DPP-4 inhibitor class (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors), Trajenta tablet plays fundamental role in regulating blood sugar levels. It enhances the levels of incretin hormones, leading to increased insulin release and decreased glucagon levels, which are crucial for maintaining optimal blood glucose levels.

Uses of Trajenta

• Blood Sugar Control: Trajenta is primarily used as an adjunct to diet and exercise, improving glycemic control in adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
• Combination Therapy: It can be prescribed alongside other antidiabetic medications, such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin, when these alone do not adequately control blood sugar levels.

Side Effects:

• Pancreatitis: Symptoms may include severe and persistent abdominal pain that can radiate to the back.
• Hypoglycemia: This is especially concerning when Trajenta is used in conjunction with other antidiabetic medications that lower blood sugar. Symptoms include dizziness, sweating, confusion, and shakiness.
• Allergic Reactions: Such reactions can manifest as rash, itching, swelling (particularly of the face, tongue, or throat), severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing.
