TRAJENTA (Linagliptin)-5mg
Trajenta (Linagliptin) belongs to a group of diabetes medications called DPP-4 inhibitors. It works by increasing the amount of incretin available in the body. Incretin is a hormone that raises insulin levels when blood sugar is high (especially after a meal) and decreases the amount of sugar made by the body. This reduces fasting and postmeal sugar levels.
It is indicated as an antidiabetic in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control.
