For people with type 2 diabetes, Linajen can improve blood sugar control and help to achieve better long-term health outcomes. Talk to your doctor today about how Trajenta could work for you.

Linagliptin, the active ingredient in Linajen 5mg Tablets, is an oral anti-diabetic medication that helps regulate blood sugar levels. By targeting the root cause of diabetes, linagliptin makes it easier for your body to reduce high blood sugar. If you’re looking for an effective way to manage your diabetes, Linajen may be right for you.

Linajen is used for type 2 diabetes in adults if the disease cannot be adequately controlled with one oral anti-diabetic medicine (metformin or sulphonylureas) or diet and exercise alone. Linajen may be used together with other anti-diabetic medicines e.g. metformin, sulphonylureas (e.g. glimepiride, glipizide), empagliflozin, or insulin.

What is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough insulin, and the insulin that your body produces does not work as well as it should. Your body can also make too much sugar. When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the blood. This can lead to serious medical problems like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation.

  • Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high.
  • It can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, needing to pee a lot and tiredness. It can also increase your risk of getting serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.
  • It’s a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups.
  • It’s caused by problems with a chemical in the body (hormone) called insulin. It’s often linked to being overweight or inactive, or having a family history of type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Many people have type 2 diabetes without realising. This is because symptoms don’t necessarily make you feel unwell.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:

  • peeing more than usual, particularly at night
  • feeling thirsty all the time
  • feeling very tired
  • losing weight without trying to
  • itching around your penis or vagina, or repeatedly getting thrush
  • cuts or wounds taking longer to heal
  • blurred vision

You’re more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes if you:

  • are over 40 – or 25 for south Asian people
  • have a close relative with diabetes – such as a parent, brother or sister
  • are overweight or obese
  • are of south Asian, Chinese, African Caribbean or black African origin – even if you were born in the UK

Understanding your type 2 diabetes medication

Most people need medicine to control their type 2 diabetes.

The medicine helps keep your blood sugar level as normal as possible to prevent health problems. You’ll have to take it for the rest of your life.

Diabetes usually gets worse over time, so your medicine or dose may need to change.

Adjusting your diet and being active is also necessary to keep your blood sugar level down.

How to manage your diabetes

A healthy diet and keeping active will help you manage your blood sugar level. It will also help you to control your weight and generally feel better.

YOU CAN EAT MANY TYPES OF FOODS

There’s nothing you can’t eat if you have type 2 diabetes, but you’ll have to limit certain foods.

You should:

  • eat a wide range of foods – including fruit, vegetables and some starchy foods like pasta
  • keep sugar, fat and salt to a minimum
  • eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – don’t skip meals

If you need to change your diet, it might be easier to make small changes every week.

 are taking an anti-diabetic medicine known as a ‘sulphonylurea’ (e.g. glimepiride, glipizide), your doctor may want to reduce your dose of sulphonylurea when you take it together with Trajenta in order to avoid your blood sugar going too low.

Trajenta is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years.
Other medicines and Trajenta
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
In particular, you should tell your doctor if you are using medicines containing any of the following active substances:
 Carbamazepine, phenobarbital or phenytoin. These may be used to control fits (seizures) or chronic pain.
 Rifampicin. This is an antibiotic used to treat infections such as tuberculosis.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
It is unknown if Trajenta is harmful to the unborn child. Therefore, it is preferable to avoid using

Taking Trajenta in combination with medicines called sulphonylureas and/or insulin can cause too low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia), which may affect your ability to drive and use machines or work without safe foothold.
