Trajenta

The usual recommended dose of Trajenta is 5 mg taken once daily, with or without food. Your healthcare provider may adjust the dosage based on your individual response to the medication. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as it will not provide additional benefits and may increase the risk of side effects. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.  

Each Trajenta tablet contains 5 mg of linagliptin as the active ingredient. The excipients in Trajenta include microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and meglumine.  

Common side effects of Trajenta may include stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, headache, and back pain. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include signs of pancreatitis such as severe abdominal pain that may radiate to the back, and signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or trouble breathing.  

Do not take Trajenta if you have a history of hypersensitivity to linagliptin or any other components of the product. Trajenta is not recommended for use in children or adolescents under 18 years of age. If you have a history of pancreatitis, kidney problems, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking Trajenta. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, especially if you are using insulin or other antidiabetic drugs.
