Overview

Trajenta Duo 2.5/500 Mg is a potent combination medication designed to keep blood sugar levels under control.

This drug has two active ingredients: linagliptin (2.5 mg) and metformin (500 mg), which work together to help control blood glucose in people whose diabetes cannot be successfully managed with diet, exercise, or a single prescription.

How Trajenta Duo 2.5/500 Mg Works?

Trajenta Duo 2.5/500 Mg combines two distinct mechanisms to manage high blood sugar:

Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of incretins, natural hormones that help regulate insulin secretion.

Linagliptin boosts the release of insulin after meals and suppresses the production of glucose by the liver, particularly after eating, helping to lower post-meal blood sugar spikes.

Key Benefits

Trajenta Duo 2.5/500mg, which combines linagliptin and metformin, provides a two-pronged strategy for lowering blood glucose levels by enhancing insulin secretion while decreasing glucose synthesis in the Liver Inflammation.

Effective Post-Meal Glucose Management: Linagliptin reduces post-meal blood sugar increases, allowing for improved control of blood sugar levels after eating.

Metformin enhances insulin sensitivity by making cells more sensitive to insulin and lowering insulin resistance.

How to Take Trajenta Duo 2.5/500mg?

Trajenta Duo 2.5/500 mg is often used once or twice a day with meals to minimize the gastrointestinal adverse effects related to metformin.

It is critical that you strictly follow your doctor’s dosing guidelines. Blood sugar should be monitored frequently to ensure that the medication is effective.
