1.
WHAT TRAJENTA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Trajenta contains the active substance linagliptin which belongs to a
group of medicines called “oral
anti-diabetics”. Oral anti-diabetics are used to treat high blood
sugar levels. They work by helping the
body reduce the level of sugar in your blood.
Trajenta 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. Trajenta may be
used together with other anti-diabetic medicines e.g. metformin,
sulphonylureas (e.g. glimepiride,
glipizide), empagliflozin, or insulin.
It is important to keep following the advice about diet and exercise
that you have been given by your
doctor or nurse.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

you:

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Trajenta is indicated in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an
adjunct to diet and exercise to
improve glycaemic control as:
monotherapy
•
when metformin is inappropriate due to intolerance, or contraindicated
due to renal impairment.
combination therapy
•
in combination with other medicinal products for the treatment of
diabetes, including insulin,
when these do not provide adequate glycaemic control (see sections
4.4, 4.5 and 5.1 for
available data on different combinations).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The dose of linagliptin is 5 mg once daily. When linagliptin is added
to metformin, the dose of
metformin should be maintained, and linagliptin administered
concomitantly.
When linagliptin is used in combination with a sulphonylurea or with
insulin, a lower dose of the
sulphonylurea or insulin, may be considered to reduce the risk of
hypoglycaemia (see section 4.4)
_Special populations_
_Renal impairment_
For patients with renal impairment, no dose adjustment for linagliptin
is required.
_Hepatic impairment_
Pharmacokinetic studies suggest that no dose adjustment is required
for patients with hepatic
impairment but clinical experience in such patients is lacking.
_Elderly_
No dose adjustment is necessary based on age.
_Paediatric population_
A clinical trial did not establish efficacy in paediatric patients 10
to 17 years of age (see section 4.8,
5.1 and 5.2). Therefore, treatment of children and adolescents with
linagliptin is not recommended.
Linagliptin has not been studied in paediatric patients und
