What brands of linagliptin are available?
Linagliptin is sold under several brand names, depending on country and manufacturer. Common brands include:
- Tradjenta (Boehringer Ingelheim)
- Trajenta Duo (Tradjenta combined with metformin, in some markets)
Brand availability can vary by region and by whether it is linagliptin alone or combined with another diabetes medicine.
What are the most common linagliptin-brand combinations?
In markets where combination products are offered, linagliptin is often paired with metformin in fixed-dose tablets (for example, products marketed as “Duo” versions). The exact combination strength and naming depend on local labeling.
How can I confirm the brand name for my prescription?
Check the pharmacy label for the brand name and the generic ingredient. If you see “linagliptin” listed under the active ingredient, the brand corresponds to that medicine even if the trade name differs.

Are linagliptin brands the same as “DPP-4” brands?
Yes. Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor, so it sits in the same drug class as other DPP-4 medicines (like sitagliptin or saxagliptin), but the brand names are different. Only products that list linagliptin as the active ingredient will be considered linagliptin brands.
