Serious side effects can happen in people taking JENTADUETO, including:
Metformin, one of the medicines in JENTADUETO can cause a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis (a build-up of lactic acid in the blood) that can cause death. Lactic acidosis is a medical emergency and must be treated in a hospital.
Call your doctor right away if you feel cold in your hands or feet, feel dizzy or lightheaded, have a slow or irregular heartbeat, feel very weak or tired, have unusual (not normal) muscle pain, have trouble breathing, feel sleepy or drowsy, have stomach pains, nausea or vomiting as these could be symptoms of lactic acidosis.
Most people who have had lactic acidosis with metformin have other things that, combined with metformin, led to the lactic acidosis. Tell your doctor if you have had severe kidney problems or your kidneys are affected by certain x-ray tests that use injectable dye, have liver problems, drink alcohol very often, or drink a lot of alcohol in short-term (“binge” drinking), get dehydrated (lose a large amount of body fluids), have surgery, or have a heart attack, severe infection, or stroke. The best way to keep from having a problem with lactic acidosis from metformin is to tell your doctor if you have any of the problems in the list above.
Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) is another serious side effect that can happen to people taking JENTADUETO. Pancreatitis may be severe and lead to death. Before you start taking JENTADUETO tell your doctor if you have ever had pancreatitis, gallstones, a history of alcoholism, or high triglyceride levels.
Stop taking JENTADUETO and call your doctor right away if you have pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe and will not go away. The pain may be felt going from your abdomen through to your back. The pain may happen with or without vomiting. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis.
JENTADUETO may cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if you take JENTADUETO with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as sulfonylurea or insulin. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, irritability, hunger, fast heartbeat, sweating, or feeling jittery.
Allergic (hypersensitivity) reactions can happen after your first dose or up to 3 months after starting JENTADUETO. Symptoms may include swelling of your face, lips, throat, and other areas on your skin; difficulty with swallowing or breathing; raised, red areas on your skin (hives); skin rash, itching, flaking, or peeling. If you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking JENTADUETO and call your doctor or go to the emergency room right away.
Some people who take medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors, one of the medicines in JENTADUETO, may develop joint pain that can be severe. Call your doctor if you have severe joint pain.
