AjaDuo 25/5 mg Tablet comprises two active ingredients:

Empagliflozin (25 mg): This ingredient is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It reduces glucose reabsorption from your kidneys, leading to increased glucose excretion through urine. This process helps lower plasma glucose levels, effectively managing your blood sugar levels.
Linagliptin (5 mg): As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, linagliptin slows down the inactivation of incretin hormones. Incretins are a group of metabolic hormones that reduce blood sugar levels in a glucose-dependent manner. By keeping these hormones active for longer, linagliptin helps reduce both fasting and post-meal blood sugar concentrations.
