User Reviews for Tradjenta oral

In the first month, this drug has stabilized my blood sugar, although it is still higher than the anticipated level.

I have been on it for about 5 months now just in the past 2 wks. I have been waking in the night with sever pain in my upper right side near my rib cage. I have gurd and was doing well on my Med for that.It doesn't matter what i eat it's so pain full I can't stand it.My Blood Sugers has improved very few,kind of all of all over the place.

zince starting tradjenta i have lost 17 lbs

I have been on this for only 2 weeks. I have had nausea, and frequent indigestion. My blood sugars don't seem to have changed much at all like I expected. I continue on Metformin also. I worry about severe side effects but have not experienced that at the time. I do not like the price either.

Very expensive co-pay, over $200.00

This drug causes my blood sugar levels to increase. I've told my MD about this but he insists that I take this medication. I'm thinking about changing encrinologists.

I am also a Cardio patient, after taking this drug now for three weeks, I have had 6 tachycardia episodes, I have a pace maker w/defibrillator and am afraid I'm going to be shocked, in the description of the medication packet, there was no advisement of tachycardia possibilities with this medication, it has taken me and cardiologist these 3 weeks to narrow down what might be causing the anomaly.

I have been using this medication for the last 3 months and have had great success, unfortunately my insurance does not cover it so it is really hitting the pocketbook hard.

really like this, no side effects like metformin.doesn't cause bs to drop and can take without food.unfortunately my insurance co.decided it costs too much and won't pay.

This is the most effective drug treatment I have used.

I've been on Tradjenta two months and have seen a reduction in my blood sugars (15-20%). I also take Metformin with this medication. When I took it without food I developed a headache. Every since taking it with food in my system, no problems.

I started taking this drug 6 months ago and it never controlled my sugar. My fasting was 157 on average with it. I started putting on weight shortly after starting it and it increased monthly. I just went to my Dr. and they found I have developed an irregular heart beat since starting the drug. I am now off the drug and back on Byetta which is the drug that worked the best for me from the start. I had wanted to get away from the injectable medication so I tried Tradjenta... BIG mistake! I hope my heart issues goes away soon.Read More Read Less

Taking this medication has produced a reaction. Swollen tongue and hard to swallow. Feels like phlem in my throat and can't remove it. Throat sore also. Dr prescribed Prednisone for inflammation of the throat...not working.

Works for me. Sugar level has remained stable between 85 - 121

I just started taking Trajenta a month ago. I have experienced fast heart rate and I have become very jittery. It scares me sometimes. I was on Metformin before but that did not agree with my stomach. I become very weak and nervous. I am going to check with my doctor once again to see if there is another drug I can try. I'm thinking since I was diagnosed with border line diabetes maybe these drugs are a little too strong for me. I have had diabetes since 2010 and my reading is and has always been between 6.2 and 6.5. Read More Read Less

My fasting blood sugar is between 110 and 129 since starting this drug. Was always below 100 on Metformin. Unfortunatley, my digestive system couldn't handle it. That part is doing much better on Tradjenta, but now I'm experiencing swollen feet and ankles. Am seeing the doctor to get his opinion, but I'm not happy the sugar isn't controlled better. Probably need to find another.
