Linagliptin, sold under the brand name Tradjenta among others, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes (but not type 1) in conjunction with exercise and diet.[8][9] It is generally less preferred than metformin and sulfonylureas as an initial treatment.[8][10] It is taken by mouth.[8]

Common side effects include inflammation of the nose and throat.[8] Serious side effects may include angioedema, pancreatitis, joint pain.[10][8] Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended.[10] Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor[8] that works by increasing the production of insulin and decreasing the production of glucagon by the pancreas.[8]

Linagliptin was approved for medical use in the United States,[11] Japan, the European Union, Canada, and Australia in 2011.[8][12] In 2020, it was the 293rd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 1 million prescriptions.[13][14] From August 2021 linagliptin became available as a generic medicine in the US.[15]
