What is Trajenta?
Trajenta is a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP-4) that works by increasing incretin levels and the amount of insulin released in the body, while decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the body. Along with a regular exercise regime and diet plan, the medication can be used to control high blood sugar levels in the body. Controlling high blood sugar levels can help prevent nerve problems, vision problems, kidney damage and even reduce risk of limb loss, heart attacks or strokes.
