Jentadueto 2.5mg/500mg Tablets help adults with type 2 diabetes manage blood sugar levels, especially when other treatments like metformin alone are insufficient. They contain Linagliptin (2.5 mg), which boosts insulin release and reduces liver glucose production, and Metformin Hydrochloride (500 mg), which decreases liver glucose production, lowers intestinal glucose absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity.
