Trajenta Duo 2.5mg/500mg

Description

Product Introduction: Trajenta Duo 2.5mg/500mg Tablet

Trajenta Duo 2.5mg/500mg Tablet is a combination medication used to control high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes, such as kidney damage, blindness, and heart disease, and may lower the chances of having a stroke or heart attack.

Salt Composition:

• Metformin (500mg)
• Linagliptin (2.5mg)

Key Benefits:

• Improves Blood Sugar Control: Helps lower blood glucose levels effectively by addressing insulin resistance and glucose production.
• Prevents Diabetes Complications: By controlling blood sugar, it reduces the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage, eye problems, nerve damage, and even limb loss.
• Reduces Risk of Cardiovascular Issues: Consistent blood sugar control helps prevent heart disease and stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes.
• Dual Action: The combination of Metformin (a biguanide) and Linagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) works synergistically to control blood sugar from different mechanisms, providing a more effective treatment option.

How It Works:

1. Metformin (500mg):
   • Lowers glucose production in the liver.
   • Improves insulin sensitivity in the muscles, helping them absorb more glucose from the bloodstream.
   • Decreases glucose absorption in the intestines.
2. Linagliptin (2.5mg):
   • Increases the levels of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), which help the body produce more insulin when blood sugar is high and reduce the amount of glucose the liver releases into the blood.

This combination of medications works together to maintain normal blood sugar levels, helping to control diabetes and reduce long-term complications.

Side Effects:

While most side effects are mild and tend to disappear as your body adjusts, some may require attention:

• Common side effects:
  • Nausea, vomiting, upset stomach
  • Headache
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), particularly if combined with other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas
  • Dizziness
  • Tremors
• Rare but serious side effects:
  • Kidney problems: It is important to monitor kidney function regularly.
  • Liver problems: Patients should be monitored for any signs of liver dysfunction.

How to Use:

• Dosage: Take Trajenta Duo 2.5mg/500mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose will depend on your individual condition and how well your blood sugar is controlled.
• Take with food: It is recommended to take the tablet with meals to reduce the risk of an upset stomach.
• Consistency: Try to take the tablet at the same time every day to help remember and get the most benefit from the medication.
• Swallow whole: Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet. Swallow it whole with a glass of water.
