JENTADUETO 2.5/1000MG TAB 60’S

Jentadueto is a prescription medication that combines two active ingredients: linagliptin and metformin. It is primarily used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps to increase insulin production and decrease glucose production in the liver, while metformin is a biguanide that improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose absorption in the intestines.

The combination of these two drugs helps to control blood sugar levels more effectively than either medication alone. Jentadueto is typically prescribed when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycemic control. It can be used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which may include lifestyle changes and other medications. Patients using Jentadueto should be monitored for potential side effects, including gastrointestinal issues and the risk of lactic acidosis, particularly in those with kidney problems.
