About this product
Overview
TRELAGET 50MG TABLET contains Trelagliptin as its active ingredient. It belongs to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which are commonly used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Trelagliptin works by enhancing insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon production, thereby helping to regulate blood sugar levels.
Mechanism of Action
Trelagliptin functions by inhibiting the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which is responsible for degrading incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). By inhibiting DPP-4, trelagliptin prolongs the action of GLP-1 and GIP, leading to increased insulin release and decreased glucagon secretion from pancreatic cells. This results in improved glucose control.
Uses
TRELAGET 50MG TABLET is primarily indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is prescribed to adults as an adjunct to diet and exercise when these measures alone are insufficient to achieve glycemic control. Trelagliptin may be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications, such as metformin or sulfonylureas, depending on the patient’s individual treatment plan.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage of TRELAGET 50MG TABLET is usually once daily, with or without food. The dosage may vary depending on factors such as the patient’s renal function, other medications being taken, and the severity of diabetes. It is essential to follow the healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and administration to achieve optimal glycemic control.
Side Effects
Common side effects associated with TRELAGET 50MG TABLET may include:
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels)
- Headache
- Upper respiratory tract infection
- Nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the nasal passages and throat)
- Diarrhea
- Nausea

Precautions
- Patients with a history of pancreatitis or severe gastrointestinal disease should use TRELAGET 50MG TABLET with caution.
- Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking trelagliptin to detect and manage hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
- Patients with impaired renal function may require dosage adjustments or additional monitoring while using trelagliptin.
- Trelagliptin may interact with other medications, so patients should inform their healthcare provider about all current medications, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before taking TRELAGET 50MG TABLET.
