Trajenta 5mg 30 tablets
Linagliptin helps control blood glucose levels by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which results in prolonged active incretin levels. Incretins are a group of metabolic hormones that reduce blood glucose by increasing insulin synthesis and release from the pancreas, in addition to reducing glucagon secretion. Unlike some other medications for type 2 diabetes, Trajenta is less likely to cause weight gain and has a low risk of hypoglycemia when used alone.
