Jentadueto 2.5mg/1000mg Tablets are used to manage type 2 diabetes. They contain Linagliptin (2.5 mg) and Metformin hydrochloride (1000 mg), which work together to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce liver sugar production. This medication is typically prescribed when diet and exercise alone are insufficient for blood sugar control.
Anti-Diabetics
Suggested Use
Jentadueto 2.5mg/1000mg Tablets is used in:
- Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults.
- It helps lower blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not enough.
- Depending on the patient’s treatment plan, it can be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications, such as sulfonylureas or insulin.
Dosage:
The usual starting dose is one tablet taken orally once a day. The maximum recommended dose is 2 tablets per day (2.5 mg Linagliptin and 1000 mg Metformin per tablet).
The dose may be adjusted based on individual patient needs and as directed by a healthcare provider. It is typically taken with food to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
Warning
- Metformin, one of the active ingredients, may increase the risk of lactic acidosis (a serious build-up of lactic acid in the blood). This condition requires urgent medical attention. Patients with kidney problems, liver disease, or severe infections should not take Jentadueto.
- Monitor kidney function regularly. The use of this medication is not recommended for patients with severe kidney impairment.
- While Linagliptin alone has a low risk of causing hypoglycemia, combining it with other blood sugar-lowering agents such as sulfonylureas or insulin may increase the risk of low blood sugar levels. Symptoms include dizziness, headache, or excessive sweating.
- Limit alcohol intake while using Jentadueto, as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis and cause additional blood sugar fluctuations.
- The safety of Jentadueto during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established. Consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
