User Reviews for Tradjenta oral

It never worked. I am now sitting on a 9.8 A1C reading after a couple of years of use. This is expensive medicine in which I have spent a fortune on with no results.

Had to stop taking metformin due to explosive stomach issues. Doc put me on this med instead. After 1 1/2 months there are no side effects and my blood sugar has risen considerably. Expensive medication that does nothing for me .

My sugar levels in am 89-125. Been having lots of phlegm never thought it was because of tradjenta, until I was going thru the revues. Very expensive though.

Have been taking for almost 3 weeks. Experiencing GERD, Diarrhea, and nausea. Almost too sick to function. Have lost appetite. It wasn't working yet anyway.

I have had skin rash and face swelling plus neck swelling. Choke easily. Some of the places that covered my arms and face were like whelps then in a couple of days they oozed a clear liquid. Then they became sores. One of the sores has been on my arm for 5 months. I showed my diabetes doctor, reg doctor and went to dermatalogist. Dr put me one prednisone three times. it is like no one knew what causes this. I used cortisone creme and another one that is gem...something and none help. I have kept taking the trajenta with metformin like the Dr says. Numbers never went down and I gained weight. Face still swelled and still itch so bad I can't sleep. I guess I should stop taking it awhile to see if that helps. Until I read on here I never dreamed it caused this. Read More Read Less

I Have Been Taking Tradjenta For About 5 Months. My Doctor Put Me On This Medication, Because Metformin Was Not working For Me After Several Years. Right Now Am Happy With What Is Going On, Other Then My Kidney Functions Have Gotten A Little Worse

Out of control sugar for 15 years. Taking Metformin, novo log and Lantus. Dr. Gave me Tradjenta, immediately lowered my counts for the first time in years!

On Tradg for 3 months, good blood sugar control, but experiencing disturbing oral side effects. They include a metallic taste in my mouth, effecting appetite, very painful sores interior back sides of tongue. Wondering if anyone else may have had similar experience, in particular the oral issues? & metallic taste. Will discuss best choice in medicatin to dicuss with my physician considering oral discomfort. bad.

Did nothing to lower my blood sugar even with 2 5mg glyburide twice a day. Now use Tanzeum 30mg, once a week non-insulin injection and hardly have to take any glyburide at all. It's wonderful. Also losing weight.

sugar level still high

After a week of treatment with tradj I developed severe heartburn hiccups and trouble swallowing, felt a lump when swallowing. stayed on T for 6 mos then stopped and all se's went away. restarted and all se returned after 1 dose. dropped A1C .5 NOT WORTH THE PAIN AND COST. I was miserable the entire time. I blamed a sternum injury for the side effects. Will never restart this poison.

Tried Metaformin and was sick to my stomach all day long so my doc put me on tradjentaand all is for over 6 months

BEEN ON TRADJENTA FOR TWO WEEKS NOW. MY WAKING READING IS 110-120 WAS READING AT 140'S BEFORE I TAKE IT WITH 5MG GLYBURIDE.. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED PALPITATIONS BUT NO SHORTNESS OF BREATH. I ALSO HAVE PHLEM IN THROAT. IT HAS HELPED LOWER MY READINS

worked great getting blood sugar level down but developed terrible itching in my scalp as well as small bumps that when you pop them clear liquid oozes out, also found in the scalp. The itching is the worst I have ever felt and today is day 5 I have been off this medication, as well as stopping Metformin until the itching ceases. Doctor thinks it is not related to this medication, I believe it is as I have never had scalp itch this bad.

Rating in effectiveness is fake (must fill).Didn't give me a chance to make blood works to see if it was effective because on my 8th pill it developed a severe rash in my thighs. $17 a tablet super expensive though.

I started taking this medication on July 1, 2014. On July 4th a rash developed on my face and neck. I phoned into the advise nurse who told me to stop taking the medication and they will make a call to my doctor. I found out a rash was one of the serious size effects. It has kept my sugar levels down though.

AFTER BEING OFF THIS DRUG FOR A MONTH NOW, MY SUGAR LEVELS ARE ACTUALLY GOING DOWN - watching what I'm eating. TRADJENTA DIDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. See below post. Rx companies are getting rich at $854 for 90 day supply.
