How it works
Trajenta Duo 2.5mg/500mg Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Metformin, linagliptin. Metformin is a biguanide which decreases the production and absorption of sugar in your body and allows better use of existing insulin. Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor which works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels.
