adults with type 2 diabetes along with diet and exercise
You try to exercise and eat well. But your A1C is still not at goal. It may be time to ask your doctor about JENTADUETO.
A tablet that you take
twice a day.
Along with exercise
and a healthy diet, JENTADUETO could lower your blood sugar and A1C.
JENTADUETO combines linagliptin and metformin in one pill.
JENTADUETO is a combination therapy that contains two diabetes medicines, linagliptin and metformin. Linagliptin belongs to a class of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors, and metformin belongs to a class of medicines called biguanides.
DPP-4 inhibitors work by increasing hormones that stimulate your pancreas to produce more insulin and stimulate your liver to produce less glucose. Biguanides work by reducing the amount of glucose in your blood and by increasing insulin sensitivity.
The two medicines together, along with diet and exercise, can help your body produce more insulin, and less sugar. Managing your sugar can mean a lower A1C – and that's an important goal for anyone with type 2 diabetes.
