Uses

Indications

Trajenta Duo appoints additional treatment for appropriate and moving diet to improve blood sugar control in Type 2 mature patients should be treated simultaneously with Linagliptin and Metformin; have not been controlled for blood sugar suitable for single -procedure metformin; Being well controlled by blood sugar when treated simultaneously Linagliptin and Metformin separately.

Trajenta Duo is designated to coordinate with a sulphonylurea (3 -drug treatment regimen), along with appropriate diet, and exercise in patients who have not controlled blood sugar well with metformin doses and a sulphonylurea at maximum tolerance.

Pharmacokology

linagliptin

is an enzyme inhibitor DPP-4 (Dipeptidyl peptidase 4), which is an enzyme involved in the inactivated hormone of Incretin GLP-1 and GIP (peptide-1 like glucagon, polypeptide stimulating insulin dependent glucose). These hormones are fastened by the DPP-4 enzyme.

Both Incretin hormones are related to the physiological regulation for glucose balance. Incretin is excreted at a low concentration throughout the day and this concentration increases immediately after eating. GLP-1 and Gip increase insulin biosynthesis and glucagon secretion from beta cells in the pancreas when blood sugar is normal and increased.

Moreover, GLP-1 also reduces the excretion of glucagon from alpha cells in the pancreas, leading to reducing the excretion of the liver. Linagliptin connects very effectively with DPP-4 and can be separated, thereby increasing stability and prolonging the activated insertin level.

Linagliptin increases the secretion of insulin depends on glucose and reduces the excretion of glucagon secretion so generally improves glucose balance. Linagliptin selectively connects with DPP-4 and is selective> 10,000 times compared to the DPP-8 or DPP-9 activity on In vitro.

metformin hydrochloride

is a biguanide that has anti -hypertension effects, reducing both plasma sugar levels at a basic level as well as after meals. The drug does not stimulate insulin secretion so it does not cause hypoglycemia.

metformin hydrochloride can work through 3 mechanisms:

  • Reduce the production of glucose in the liver due to glucose synthesis and glycogen award.
  • In muscle, thanks to increasing insulin sensitivity, improving the absorption and use of peripheral glucose.

  • Slow up the absorption of glucose in the intestine.
  • metformin hydrochloride stimulates intracellular glycogen synthesis due to the influence on glycogen synthase.

    metformin hydrochloride increases the transport ability of all glucose transportation through the cell membrane (GLUT) to date.

    In humans, metformin hydrochloride also has a favorable effect on lipid metabolism, independent of the effect on blood sugar. This effect is recorded in the dose of treatment in clinical studies with a long and long -term research time: Metformin hydrochloride reduces total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.

    pharmacokinetic

    linagliptin

    Absorption: The absolute bioavailability of Linagliptin is about 30%. Drinking Linagliptin along with a fat -rich meal without clinical effects on pharmacokinetics, Linagliptin can be used or not with food.

    In vitro studies show that linagliptin is a substrate of p-glycoprotein and CYP3A4. Ritonavir, a powerful inhibitor P-Glycoprotein and CYP3A4 increases the concentration of drugs (AUC) 2 times and used many times simultaneously Linagliptin with Rifampicin, a strong induction for P-GP and CYP3A leading to a decrease of about 40% of the AUC concentration of Linagliptin in a stable state, perhaps due to Linagliptin increased by Linagliptin by the inhibition P-glycoprotein.

    DISTRIBUTION: Due to tissue bonds, the average appointed distribution volume in a stable state after using a single -dose of 5mg of Linagliptin's intravenous lines in healthy people is about 1110 liters, showing that Linagliptin is widely distributed to tissues. Linagliptin's plasma protein bonds depend on concentration, reduced from about 99% at a concentration of 1 nmol/l to 75-89% at a concentration of ≥ 30 nmol/l, reflecting saturation associated with DPP-4 when increased Linagliptin concentration. At high concentrations, when DPP-4 is completely saturated, 70-80% Linagliptin is linked to other plasma proteins other than DPP-4, so 30-20% in non-binding form in plasma.

    Metabolic: After taking a dose [14C] Linagliptin oral 10mg, about 5% of radioactive substances are excreted into the urine. Metabolism plays a secondary role in the elimination of linagliptin. A main metabolites with relatively 13.3% of Linagliptin dose in stable state are detected as non-pharmacological activity and therefore does not contribute to the activity of plasma DPP-4 plasma inhibitors of Linagliptin.

    Elimination: After giving healthy people orally [14C] Linagliptin, about 85%of the doses of radioactive activity are eliminated by feces (80%) or urine (5%) within 4 days of taking the drug. The kidney removal in a stable state is about 70ml/min.

    Renal failure: There is no need to adjust the linagliptin dose in patients with renal impairment at any level. In addition, mild kidney failure does not affect the pharmacokinetics of Linagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes according to the pharmacokinetic analysis assessment of the research population.

    Hepatic failure: There is no need to adjust the linagliptin dose for patients with mild, medium or severe liver failure.

    metformin

    Absorption: After 1 dose of oral metformin, TMAX is achieved after 2.5 hours. The absolute bioavailability of Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg or 850mg tablets in healthy volunteers is about 50 - 60%. After an oral dose, the non -absorbing drug is found in the feces of 20 - 30%. After oral use, Metformin Hydrochloride is absorbed incomplete and saturated. Pharmacoderminium absorption of Metformin Hydrochloride is thought to be non -linear.

    Distribution: The drug is not significantly attached to plasma proteins. Metformin Hydrochloride is distributed into red blood cells. The peak concentration in the blood is lower than the peak concentration in plasma and appears at the same time. Many possibilities are a secondary distribution compartment. The average distribution volume (VD) is in the range of 63 - 276L.

    Metabolism: metformin hydrochloride eliminated through urine in constant form. No metabolites in humans.

    Elimination: The renal waste of the metformin hydrochloride> 400ml/min shows that the metformin hydrochloride is excreted by glomerular filtration and excreted through the renal tubules. After an oral dose, the apparent sale time is about 6.5 hours. When renal function decreases, the removal of drugs through the kidneys decreases proportional to the clearing of creatinine, so the sale time also lasts, resulting in an increase in plasma metformin hydrochloride levels in plasma.

    Before taking Trajenta duo 2.5mg/850mg Boehringer treatment for type 2 diabetes (30 tablets)

    How to use

    Trajenta duo 2.5mg/850mg oral with meals, with a slow dosage to reduce side effects on the gastrointestinal tract related to metformin.

    Dosage

    recommended dose is 1 tablet (2.5mg/500mg; 2.5mg/850mg or 2.5mg/1000mg) x 2 times/day. Should choose the dose based on the current treatment, efficiency and tolerance of the drug on each patient. Maximum daily dose: 5mg Linagliptin and 2000mg metformin.

    For patients recently, not treated with Metformin: 1 tablet starts 2.5/500mg x 2 times/day.

    Not well controlled blood sugar with the maximum dose of Metformin Single Therapy: Starting Linagliptin 2.5mg x 2 times/day (total dose of 5mg/day) and Metformin with the dose in use.

    From a combination of Linagliptin and Metformin separate forms to a fixed combination format: Start at the dose of Linagliptin and Metformin in use.

    Not well controlled with metformin combination treatment and a sulphonylurea at the maximum dose of tolerance: should use Trajenta Duo at a dose of 2.5mg Linagliptin X twice a day (total dose of 5mg/day) and Metformin (at the same level as the dose in use). When combining Trajenta Duo with a sulphonylurea, the lower doses of sulphonylurea may be used due to the risk of hypoglycemia.

    Patients with renal insufficiency (CrCl 45 - 59ml/minute or EGFR 45 - 59ml/min/minute/1.73m2): Maximmin dose maximum 500mg x 2 times/day. Must closely monitor kidney function.

    Hepatic failure: Trajenta duo contraindicated in patients with liver failure due to drugs containing metformin ingredients.

    Elderly: Due to the renal metformin and elderly patients tend to impaired renal function, so monitoring kidney function regularly in elderly patients treated with Trajenta Duo.

    Children and adolescents: It is not recommended to use Trajenta Duo for children under 18 years of age due to lack of data on the effectiveness and safety of the drug.

    Note: The above dose is for reference only. Specific dosage depends on the condition and level of progression of the disease. For a suitable dose, you need to consult a doctor or medical specialist.

    What to do when overdose?

    Symptoms

    In control clinical trials conducted on healthy volunteers, single dose up to 600mg of Linagliptin (equivalent to 120 recommended dose) is well tolerated. There is no experience using a dosage higher than 600mg in humans.

    Hypoglycemia does not occur with Metformin Hydrochloride dose up to 85g despite lactic acidic acidosis. High doses of metformin hydrochloride or associated risk factors can lead to lactic acidic acidosis. Lactic acidic acidosis is a medical emergency and must be treated at the hospital.

    Treatment

    In case of overdose, it is advisable to take common supportive treatments, for example: removal of not being absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, clinical monitoring and necessary treatment measures. The most effective measure to eliminate lactate and metformin hydrochloride is dialysis.

    What to do when forgetting 1 dose? However, if the time to relax with the next dose is too short, skip the dose and continue the calendar of the drug. Do not use double dose to compensate for missed dose.

    Instructions on how to handle ADR

    When encountering side effects of the drug, it is necessary to notify the doctor for timely treatment.

    Warnings

    Before using the drug you need to read the instructions carefully and refer to the information below.

    Contraindicated

    Trajenta duo drugs 2.5mg/850mg contraindicated in the following cases:

  • Hypersensitivity to the active ingredient linagliptin or metformin or any excipients of the drug. Acute status is at risk of kidney function such as: dehydration, severe infections, shock, use of intravenous iodine contrast drugs.
  • Alcoholism.
  • Be cautious when used

    Do not use Trajenta duo for patients with diabetes type 1 or patient diabetes diabetes.

    Use with known drugs that cause hypoglycemia:

    Higher hypoglycemia ratio when using linagliptin combined with insulin in patients with severe renal impairment. Therefore, to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia when used in conjunction withtrajenta duo, may require a lower dose than insulin or insulin secretion.

    Elderly, weak, or malnutrition patients, and patients with pituitary or adrenal impairment or alcohol poisoning are especially sensitive to hypoglycemic effects. Hypoglycemia may be difficult to identify in the elderly, and in patients taking β-adrenergic inhibitors.

    Lactic acidic acidosis:

    Risk factors of lactic acidic acidosis related to Metformin include renal failure, simultaneous use with certain drugs (eg anhydrase carbonic inhibitors such as Topiramate), aged 65 and older, performing screens using contrast drugs, surgery and performing other tricks, reducing inhaled oxygen (eg acute congestion), drinking a lot of alcohol and liver failure.

    Renal failure: Lactic acidosis related to metformin during after -sales drug monitoring occurs mainly in patients with severe renal impairment. The risk of metformin accumulation and lactic acidosis associated with metformin increases with the severity of renal failure because Metformin is excreted mainly through the kidneys.

  • Before the beginning of treatment with Metformin should estimate the level of glomerular filtration (EGFR) of the patient.
  • Contraindicated Metformin in patients with EGFR below 30 ml/min/1.73m2.

  • Do not recommend the beginning of treatment with Metformin in patients with EGFR in the range of 30 - 45 ml/min/1.73m2.
  • Collect data on EGFR at least once a year in all patients using Metformin. In patients who are likely to increase the risk of renal failure (such as the elderly) the kidney function should be evaluated more often.
  • In patients using metformin and there is an EGFR drop below 45 ml/min/1.73m2.
  • Medicine interaction: Concomitant use of metformin with some drugs may increase the risk of lactic acidosis related to metformin.

    Patients aged 65 and older: The risk of lactic acidosis is related to Metformin increases with the age of the patient because the elderly patients are likely to have liver failure, kidney failure, heart failure than younger patients. Need to evaluate kidney function more often for older patients.

    Perform diagnostic tests using contrast drugs: Injecting contrast drugs into the intravascular disease in patients who are being treated metformin can lead to impaired renal function and cause lactic acidosis. Stop using Metformin before or at the time of performing screens using iodine-containing contrast drugs in patients with EGFR in the range of 30-60 ml /min /1.73m2, patients with a history of liver failure, alcoholism, heart failure or patients will use IOD contrast drugs in artery. Reassess EGFR 48 hours after screening and reuse Metformin if the kidney function is stable.

    Surgery or other procedures: food storage and fluid during surgery or performing other procedures may increase the risk of decreased volume, hypotension and kidney failure. Metformin should be temporarily stopped temporarily when the patient has a limited amount of food and deposits.

    Metformin hydrochloride must be stopped 48 hours before surgery under the program with systemic anesthesia, spinal anesthesia or external epidural. It is possible to reuse the drug after 48 hours from the surgery or after the patient is raised again by oral and only when the kidney function is determined to be normal.

    Inhalation oxygen reduction: after -sales monitoring process has recorded a number of lactic acidosis related to metformin occurring in acute congestive heart failure (especially when accompanied by reduced perfusion and hypoxemia). Cardiovascular collapse (shock), acute myocardial infarction, bacterial infection and other diseases related to hypoxemia are associated with lactic acidosis and may also cause nitrogen nitrogen before the kidneys. When these events occur, stop Metformin.

    drink alcohol.

    Hepatic failure: Patients with hepatic impairment may progress to lactic acidosis related to metformin due to lactate excretion reduction leading to increased lactate levels in the blood. Therefore, avoid using Metformin in patients who have been diagnosed with liver disease through tested or clinical evidence ml/min/1.73m2, assessing risks - benefits of continuing the regimen.

    Pancreatitis: There have been after -sales reports of acute pancreatitis, including fatal pancreatitis in patients using linagliptin. Read carefully about the possible signs and symptoms of pancreatitis. If suspected of pancreatitis, immediately stop using Trajenta Duo and start appropriate treatment. It is unknown whether the patient has a history of pancreatic inflammation, which increases or not the risk of pancreatic inflammation while using Trajenta Duo.

    Heart function: Heart failure is at higher risk of oxygen and renal failure. In patients with stable chronic heart failure, Trajenta Duo can be used on the regular monitoring of heart and kidney function.

    Contraindicated Trajenta Duo for patients with acute heart failure and unstable heart failure due to drugs containing metformin.

    Pemphigoid puffer: There is a report after circulation of pemphigoid bulls in patients using linagliptin. If there is a suspected pemphigoid, it is necessary to stop using Trajenta Duo.

    The ability to drive and operate machinery

    There has been no research on the effect of the drug on the ability to drive and operate machinery.

    Pregnancy

    No appropriate and strict research has been conducted in pregnant women using Trajenta Duo or its individual active ingredients. The non -clinical studies on reproduction conducted on mice using trajenta duo drugs do not show the teratogenic effect of simultaneous use of Linagliptin and Metformin.

    To be cautious, better to avoid using Trajenta Duo during pregnancy.

    When a patient plans to get pregnant and during pregnancy, you should not treat diabetes with Trajenta Duo but should use insulin to maintain blood sugar level as close as normal as possible to reduce the risk of fetal deformities related to abnormalities.

    Breastfeeding period

    In humans, metformin has excreted breast milk. It is still unclear whether Linagliptin is excreted in breast milk or not. Do not use Trajenta Duo in breastfeeding women.

    Drug interaction

    linagliptin

    Interrogen interaction assessment

  • Linagliptin is a inhibitor based on weak to medium mechanisms and weak competition inhibitors for CYP ISOENZYM CYP3A4, but does not inhibit other ISOENZIMPYMPY CYP. The drug is not an induction substance for CYP isoenzymes.
  • Linagliptin is a p-glycoprotein substrate and inhibits Digoxin transportation through P-Glycoprotein intermediaries with low activity. Based on these results and studies on Vivo, Linagliptin, which is considered to be less likely to interact with other P-GP substrates.
  • Interaction assessment in vivo

  • Linagliptin has no clinical impact related to pharmacokinetics of Metformin, Glibenclamide, Simvastatin, Pioglitazone, Warfarin, Digoxin or oral contraceptives, which provides In Vivo evidence that the trend is less likely to interact with the substrates of CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CYP2C8, CYP2C8, CYP2C8, CYP2C8, CYP2C P-Glycoprotein and organic Cationic Cationic Cation (OCT).
  • Oral contraceptives: simultaneously used with 5mg of Linagliptin does not change the pharmacokinetics in the stable state of levonorgestrel or ethinylestradiol.
  • Absolute bioavailability of Linagliptin is about 30%. Due to the simultaneous use of Linagliptin at a fat -rich meal that does not cause clinical effects on pharmacokinetics, Linagliptin can be used or not with food.
  • metformin

    The risk of increasing lactic acidic acidosis in acute alcoholic poisoning patients (especially in the case of fasting, malnutrition or liver failure) due to the active ingredient of trajenta duo (see the warning and cautious section). Alcohol and alcohol should be avoided.

    Cation original drugs are excreted mainly through the renal tubules (for example, cimetidine) can interact with metformin due to competition for the renal tubular transportation system. Therefore, it is advisable to consider monitoring the blood sugar closely, adjust the dose in the recommended dose and change the treatment of diabetes when used simultaneously with cation removal drugs through the renal tubules.

    ANHYDRASE CARBONS: Topiramate or carbon dioxide inhibitors (Zonisamide, Acetazolamide or Dichlorphenamide) regularly cause hype of serum bicarbonate and cause hypertension metabolism, without changing anion space. Concomitant use of these drugs can cause metabolic acidosis. Be careful to use these drugs in patients treated with Trajenta Duo because it can increase the risk of lactic acidic acidosis.

    Injecting of the internal contrast drug in patients who are being treated for metformin can lead to impaired renal function and cause lactic acidosis. Stop using Metformin before or at the time of performing screens using iodine -containing contrast drugs in patients with EGFR in the range of 30 - 60 ml /min /1.73 m2, patients with a history of liver failure, alcoholism, heart failure or patients will use optical bumper containing iodine in artery lines. Reassess EGFR 48 hours after screening and reuse Metformin if the kidney function is stable.

    Storage

    In a dry place, avoid light, temperatures below 30⁰C.
