Tradjenta should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine). It has not been studied in combination with insulin.<\/p>\n

\n

Tradjenta belongs to a class of prescription medications called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and is the first member of its class to be approved at one dosage strength (5 mg, once daily).<\/p>\n

Tradjenta\u00a0 was approved based on a clinical trial program that included approximately 4,000 adults with type 2 diabetes. Included in the program were placebo-controlled studies evaluating Tradjenta as monotherapy and in combination with some commonly prescribed medications for type 2 diabetes \u2014 metformin, sulfonylurea or pioglitazone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
