What is Trajenta Duo 2.5/500 Tablet used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus: to improve glycaemic control in adults when diet and exercise alone are not enough; used when appropriate to treat with both linagliptin and metformin.

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.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
