Description
Jentadueto is an oral medication used in the management of Type 2 diabetes. It combines two antihyperglycemic agents: linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, and metformin hydrochloride, a biguanide. Linagliptin works by increasing hormones that stimulate insulin release in response to high blood glucose levels, while metformin decreases glucose production by the liver and its absorption in the gut. This dual mechanism helps control blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes patients. Jentadueto is available in tablet form for administration.
