What is TRADJENTA used for?
- TRADJENTA is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults
How does TRADJENTA work?
TRADJENTA is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It works by blocking DPP-4, a protein that breaks down certain hormones in your body. These hormones normally tell your body to make more insulin and produce less sugar. When DPP-4 causes these hormone levels to drop, you end up having high blood sugar levels. By blocking the action of DPP-4, TRADJENTA helps your body produce more insulin and make less sugar. In doing so, TRADJENTA helps lower your blood sugar levels.
