AbstractBackgroundDipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP‐4) inhibitors have been reported to be generally well tolerated. However, angioedema has been reported as one of the rare adverse events of these drugs.Case reportWe report a case in which angioedema induced by vildagliptin disappeared after changing to another DPP‐4 inhibitor, alogliptin.DiscussionOur case suggests that there is a difference in the risk of angioedema among DPP‐4 inhibitors. To clarify this possibility, further investigation on the risk of angioedema among DPP‐4 inhibitors is warranted.
