What Is Jentadueto?

Jentadueto is a prescription medication used to help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is an oral anti-diabetic that works alongside a healthy diet and exercise to manage diabetes effectively.

How Does Jentadueto Work?

In type 2 diabetes, the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use it properly, leading to high blood sugar levels. Jentadueto helps to lower and regulate blood sugar, preventing complications caused by diabetes.

What Are the Benefits of Taking Jentadueto?

Managing diabetes is essential to prevent serious health problems like heart disease, nerve damage, and vision loss. Jentadueto helps control symptoms such as:

• Excessive thirst
• Frequent urination
• Tiredness or fatigue

By keeping blood sugar levels in check, Jentadueto supports better long-term health and helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

How Do I Use Jentadueto?

Jentadueto is a prescription medication, so you should always follow your doctor’s advice and read the patient information leaflet provided with the medicine.

How to Take Jentadueto:

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it with food to reduce the risk of an upset stomach.
• Stick to the same time each day to help you remember to take it.

Taking Jentadueto as directed will help keep your blood sugar levels stable and reduce the risk of diabetes complications.

What is the recommended dosage?

Jentadueto contains two active ingredients—linagliptin and metformin—which help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

Dosage Guidelines:

• Available in two strengths: 2.5 mg/850 mg and 2.5 mg/1,000 mg per tablet.
• The usual dose is one tablet twice a day.
• Your doctor will decide which strength is right for you.
• Do not take more than two 2.5 mg/1,000 mg tablets per day.

Missed or Overdose Guidance:

• Missed a dose? Take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose—never take two doses at once.
• Taken too much? Seek urgent medical attention. Overdosing on Jentadueto can lead to lactic acidosis, a serious condition that can cause vomiting, stomach pain, muscle cramps, extreme tiredness, or difficulty breathing.

What warnings does it come with?

Before taking Jentadueto, it’s important to speak with your doctor to ensure it’s safe for you.
