Incretin hormones are normally released by the intestines and production is stimulated by food.  Incretins are inactivated by DPP-4.  Linagliptin\/Trajenta\/Tradjenta inhibits DPP-4 thereby raising incretin levels and resulting in lower blood glucose.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow should I take this medication?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOral:\u003c\/em\u003e 5mg once daily\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to Take:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Follow instructions provided by physician\/pharmacy label, take consistently at same time each day with or without a meal unless otherwise directed, store at room temperature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou Need to Avoid:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Do not use for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat should I watch for while using this medication?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBefore starting Linagliptin\/Trajenta\/Tradjenta make sure your physician is aware of any allergies, medications you currently take, if you have kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, a history of pancreatitis, are pregnant or breastfeeding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat if I miss a dose?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you miss a dose of medication, try to take it as soon as possible.  However, if it is almost time for your next dose, take only that scheduled dose.  Do not take double or extra doses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow should I store this medication?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKeep out of the reach of children at all times.  Store at room temperature, 59 to 86° F (15 to 30° C).  Protect from light.  Keep the container tightly closed.  Properly dispose of any unused medication after the expiration date.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat are the possible side effects of using this medication?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHypoglycemia, increased uric acid, increased serum lipase, nasopharyngitis, cough\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote this is not a complete list of side effects, only common ones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM","offers":[{"title":"5mg - 30 Tab - Canada","offer_id":47149610139966,"sku":null,"price":365.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0711\/0321\/7982\/products\/Trajenta.jpg?v=1695212672","url":"https:\/\/www.advochealth.com\/products\/tradjenta-trajenta-linagliptin","provider":"AdvocHealth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
