Jentadueto 2.5mg/1000mg Tablets - International Brand Version ( Trajenta Duo )

Jentadueto 2.5mg/1000mg comes with two active ingredients, namely Metformin and Linagliptin. They are primarily prescribed for managing increased sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. However, the functioning of both ingredients remains different in the system. If left unattended, it may cause an array of complications, including blindness, heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure.

Metformin is classified under the drug class known as biguanide, which functions to decrease glucose absorption in the intestine and also improves the insulin sensitivity of the body. On the other hand, Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that functions to increase the insulin released by the pancreas and mitigate hormones that elevate sugar levels.
