Treatment Summary
Linagliptin is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by blocking an enzyme called DPP-4, which helps control blood sugar levels. Unlike other DPP-4 inhibitors, linagliptin does not need to be cleared by the kidneys, and its effects depend on the concentration in the body. It was approved by the FDA in 2011.

Effectiveness
How Jentadueto Affects Patients
Taking 5mg of linagliptin by mouth stops the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) from working for at least 24 hours. This increase in GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide 1) lowers the amount of sugar in blood and helps control blood sugar levels.
How Jentadueto works in the body
Linagliptin works by blocking an enzyme called DPP-4. This prevents the body from breaking down two hormones - GLP-1 and GIP - that help to increase insulin in the body. This lowers the amount of glucose broken down in the liver, which helps to reduce blood sugar levels.
