A new drug treatment for type 2 diabetes that combines metformin with the DPP-4 inhibitor linagliptin in a single tablet is now available in the UK.
...
Jentadueto was approved in Europe in July following data from Phase III clinical trials, which showed that a twice-daily dose of the oral medication (2.5mg linagliptin/1000mg metformin) caused a significant reduction in blood sugar levels, compared to use of metformin (1000mg twice-daily) or linagliptin (5mg once-daily).
