Jentadueto Tablets (Linagliptin/Metformin) – Medication for Managing Type 2 Diabetes

Jentadueto is a prescription medication that combines two active ingredients—Linagliptin (2.5mg) and Metformin (850mg or 1000mg)—to help manage type 2 diabetes. It should be used alongside a proper diet and exercise plan to help control high blood sugar levels.

How Jentadueto Works:

• Linagliptin: Helps regulate the production of insulin in your body after eating.
• Metformin: Works by reducing the absorption of sugar from the stomach, lowering the release of stored sugar from the liver, and improving how your body uses sugar. This helps lower blood glucose levels.

What is Type 2 Diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a condition where your body does not use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels. It is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management through lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring of blood glucose levels. Managing type 2 diabetes effectively can help reduce the risk of complications, such as heart disease and nerve damage.
