Linagliptin and metformin
Linagliptin and metformin is an oral combination used in the management of type 2 diabetes. Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, while metformin is a biguanide. Together, they help improve blood glucose control alongside a suitable diet and physical activity plan.
The two components work differently: linagliptin supports the body's incretin response after meals, and metformin reduces glucose production by the liver while improving the body's response to insulin. The appropriate formulation and strength depend on an individual's treatment plan and should be discussed with a health professional.
Linagliptin and metformin options we offer
We currently offer two tablet formulations. Jentadueto is a film-coated tablet in a 2.5 mg + 500 mg strength. Jentadueto XR is an extended-release tablet in a 5 mg + 1000 mg strength; its extended-release form is designed to release medicine over a longer period. The products are not interchangeable simply because they contain the same active ingredients, as both the strength and release form differ.
| Product | Form and strength | Pack sizes | Price range | Lowest price per tablet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jentadueto | Film-coated tablet 2.5 mg + 500 mg | 30, 60, 90 or 120 tablets | A$123.12 to A$253.84 | A$2.12 |
| Jentadueto XR | Extended-release tablets 5 mg + 1000 mg | 30, 60, 90 or 120 tablets | A$158.08 to A$354.16 | A$2.95 |
For both products, the lowest listed per-tablet price is based on the 120-tablet pack. A larger pack may be useful where it matches the quantity you have been advised to use, but price alone does not determine which formulation is appropriate.
