\"Lilly<\/a>Eli Lilly and\u00a0Boehringer Ingelheim have announced Jentadueto\u00a0tablets are now available by prescription in pharmacies across the U.S.\u00a0Jentadueto\u00a0is a new prescription medication for type 2 diabetes patients who need to control their blood sugar.\u00a0 Jentadueto\u00a0is a\u00a0 twice daily medication combining two diabetes medicines \u2014 the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, linagliptin and metformin \u2014 in one tablet. Linagliptin is marketed in the U.S. as Tradjenta 5mg once-daily tablets.\u00a0 Jentadueto\u00a0was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on January 30, 2012, as a prescription medicine used along with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes when treatment with both linagliptin and metformin is appropriate.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Jentadueto\u00a0is not for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine) and it has not been studied in combination with insulin. The product label contains a boxed warning for the risk of lactic acidosis, a serious metabolic complication that can occur due to metformin accumulation during treatment with\u00a0 Jentadueto\u00a0.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Jentadueto\u00a0provides physicians with options to adjust the metformin dosing based on effectiveness and tolerability. It is available in three dosage strengths, taken twice daily: 2.5 mg linagliptin\/500 mg metformin hydrochloride; 2.5 mg linagliptin\/850 mg metformin hydrochloride; and 2.5 mg linagliptin\/1000 mg metformin hydrochloride. Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly are actively working with insurance companies on formulary coverage to have\u00a0 Jentadueto\u00a0\u00a0reimbursed at a co-pay level similar to other preferred branded products. \u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
In addition, the Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Programs make Boehringer Ingelheim medicines, including\u00a0 Jentadueto\u00a0, available free of charge to patients who are without pharmaceutical insurance coverage, and who meet certain household income levels and eligibility requirements.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
