Trajenta Duo 2.5mg/850mg Tablet works in your body through the action of its two active components:

• Linagliptin (2.5 mg): This component inhibits an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). DPP-4 is responsible for breaking down certain hormones that stimulate the secretion of insulin and suppress the secretion of glucagon, another hormone that raises glucose levels in your blood. By inhibiting DPP-4, linagliptin increases and prolongs the activity of these hormones, resulting in improved control of blood glucose levels.

• Metformin (850 mg): This component belongs to the biguanide class of antidiabetic medicines. Metformin works by reducing the production of glucose in your liver, decreasing the absorption of glucose in your gut, and improving your body's sensitivity to insulin. This helps to lower your blood glucose levels without causing an excessively low glucose condition known as hypoglycaemia.
