Benefits of Trajenta Duo 2.5/500 Tablet
- In Type 2 diabetes
- Trajenta Duo 2.5/500 lowers the amount of sugar your liver releases and helps your body use its own insulin, so blood sugar stays in a steadier range through the day. Keeping sugar controlled over the years protects the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart from the damage diabetes causes.
How Trajenta Duo 2.5/500 Tablet works
Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases incretin hormones (GLP-1, GIP), leading to increased insulin release and reduced glucagon in a glucose-dependent manner. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose.
How to take Trajenta Duo 2.5/500 Tablet
Oral tablet. Take as prescribed, usually twice daily with meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water; do not crush/chew. Maintain diet, exercise, and regular blood sugar monitoring.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
