What is Tradjenta?

Tradjenta is a prescription medicine given to adults with type 2 diabetes. Used alongside exercise and diet changes, it can help you lower your blood glucose levels. The medication causes you to absorb more glucose from your blood, helping you maintain lower blood glucose levels throughout the day. You take Tradjenta as a tablet you swallow once a day.

Tradjenta active ingredients

The active ingredient in Tradjenta is called linagliptin. Unlike many other treatments for type 2 diabetes, linagliptin is not a type of insulin, it’s a drug called an oral hypoglycemic. 

Linagliptin works by blocking an enzyme in your body called DPP-4. This enzyme breaks down hormones, called incretins, that take glucose out of your blood. By stopping DPP-4 from working, linagliptin causes more glucose to be absorbed from your blood. It can also cause more insulin to be released from your pancreas too, further helping to lower your blood glucose levels. 

Tradjenta side effects & Tradjenta drug interactions

The most common side effects caused by Tradjenta include:

  • A stuffy or runny nose
  • A sore throat
  • A cough
  • Diarrhea

Sometimes, Tradjenta can cause more serious side effects. These include:

  • Heart failure
  • Severe allergic reactions to the medication that can cause anaphylaxis
  • Inflammation of your pancreas (pancreatitis), which can be severe, and in some cases, fatal
  • Very low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
  • Joint pain that can become severe
  • Skin reactions that cause blisters and breakdown and loss of the outer layer of your skin

Tradjenta can interact with other medications, including: 

  • Insulin or any other medications for type 2 diabetes
  • Any anticonvulsant medications taken to reduce the chances of you having seizures, like carbamazepine, phenobarbital, or phenytoin
  • Rifampicin (Rifadin, Rimactane, Rifater, Rifamate), an antibiotic used to treat infections, like tuberculosis and legionellosis
