Jentadueto Information

Jentadueto at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Jentadueto (linagliptin/metformin) is manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim in many countries worldwide, including Canada. The generic linagliptin/metformin is currently unavailable at this pharmacy.

Dosage:

The brand Jentadueto is available as 2.5 mg/1000 mg, 2.5 mg/500 mg, and 2.5 mg/850 mg oral tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Jentadueto (linagliptin/metformin) is a prescription medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults in combination with diet and exercise. It helps improve blood sugar control and reduce the risk of long-term complications such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and cardiovascular problems. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not use insulin properly. Jentadueto helps the body use insulin more effectively and improves post-meal glucose levels.

Mechanism of Action:
Jentadueto (linagliptin/metformin) contains two medications. Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor. It increases incretin hormones and helps the pancreas release more insulin after meals. It also reduces the release of glucose from the liver. Metformin is a biguanide. It reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver and helps the body use insulin more effectively. It also decreases the amount of sugar absorbed by the body. Together, they provide more effective blood sugar control than either medication alone.

Take Jentadueto exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions on the manufacturer's website. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Jentadueto, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Before starting Jentadueto, it is crucial to discuss possible side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Jentadueto, it is essential to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, as well as all medications you are currently taking, with your doctor or pharmacist.

• You have acute conditions that can affect kidney function (severe infection, dehydration, or shock)

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Jentadueto. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Jentadueto is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Jentadueto, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the product monograph.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with Jentadueto. Jentadueto may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Alcohol - Using metformin with alcohol can increase the risk of lactic acidosis
• Drugs that affect kidney function – Using Jentadueto with NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors, or diuretics can affect kidney function
• Drugs that increase the risk of low blood sugar – Using Jentadueto with medicines that lower blood sugar, such as insulin, glyburide, or glimepiride, can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Dosage adjustments may be required.
• Drugs that may alter metformin or linagliptin levels - rifampin and certain anticonvulsants may lower linagliptin levels, reducing its effectiveness. Cimetidine may raise metformin levels, increasing the risk of side effects.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Jentadueto is not recommended during pregnancy. Metformin is sometimes used alone in pregnancy under medical supervision, but linagliptin lacks adequate safety data. This medicine is not recommended for use while breastfeeding. Metformin passes into breast milk in small amounts, and the safety of linagliptin in nursing infants is not well established. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, it is crucial to consult your doctor immediately.
