Trajenta Duo 2.5/500mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Medical Description
Trajenta Duo 2.5mg/500mg tablet is an anti-diabetic medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes. It contains two active ingredients: linagliptin and metformin. Trajenta Duo works by increasing insulin production and restoring your body's natural response to insulin. This helps to lower your blood sugar levels and reduce your risk of developing complications from diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body's cells do not respond properly to insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your cells absorb sugar from the bloodstream. When your cells do not respond properly to insulin, sugar builds up in your blood. This can lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Ondero Met 2.5mg/500mg tablet also has a combination of linagliptin and metformin.
Trajenta Duo 2.5mg/500mg tablet should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. It is important to take the correct dose and to take it at the right time. Do not miss a dose or take more than the prescribed dose. In addition to taking Trajenta 2.5mg/500mg Duo Tablet, it is important to make lifestyle changes to manage your diabetes. This includes eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and checking your blood sugar levels regularly.
