Trajenta Duo 2.5 mg/500 mg Tablet comprises two active ingredients:

• Linagliptin (2.5 mg): This ingredient belongs to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. Its function involves increasing the levels of natural substances called incretins that help manage blood sugar by enhancing the release of insulin, especially after meals.

• Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide, metformin works by reducing the amount of sugar produced by your liver. It also enhances your body's sensitivity to insulin, which allows insulin to work more effectively in controlling blood glucose levels.

These two ingredients work together to manage blood glucose levels effectively in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
