Trelagliptin effects and side effects

Trelagliptin (Trelagliptin) is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor used to treat type 2 diabetes. It inhibits the activity of DPP-4 enzyme and increases the levels of glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), thereby promoting insulin secretion and reducing blood sugar levels. However, when using drugs, you need to pay attention to abnormal liver function and choose appropriate drugs based on your doctor's recommendations and individual circumstances.

Trelagliptin can effectively lower blood sugar levels, reduce blood sugar fluctuations, and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. It can also improve the function of pancreatic islet beta cells and increase insulin sensitivity while reducing overstimulation of glucagon hormones. These effects help improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes. Common side effects of trotagliptin include headache, nausea, diarrhea and other minor discomforts. In addition, tretagliptin may cause liver function abnormalities, but the incidence is low. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as rash or allergic reaction may occur with trolagliptin.

The original drug of trotagliptin has not yet received relevant approval for marketing in China, so it cannot be covered by medical insurance. Currently, the price of trotagliptin original drug, specification 50mg*20 tablets per box, which is currently on the market overseas, may be around RMB 1,000 (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rates). There are also generic Trelagliptin drugs produced in other countries, and their pharmaceutical ingredients are basically the same as those of the original drug. For example, the price of 100mg*21 tablets produced by a Bangladesh pharmaceutical factory may be several hundred yuan per box (the price may fluctuate due to exchange rates).
