Linagliptin, which is marketed as Trajenta® 5mg tablets in Europe, is a once-daily tablet used along with diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. Linagliptin should not be used in patients with Type 1 Diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine). Linagliptin is the only approved DPP-4 inhibitor that does not require dose adjustments regardless of renal or hepatic function.
