Combination Type 2 Diabetes Pill Approved in Europe

July 27, 2012 — The European Commission has approved the combination pill containing the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin and metformin hydrochloride for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes, alongside diet and exercise. The approval follows a favorable recommendation by the European Medicines Agency in May.

The linagliptin/metformin combination sold in Europe as Jentadueto (Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc, and Eli Lilly & Co) provides a single-tablet option that is taken twice daily.

It is intended for patients with type 2 diabetes that is inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin alone, metformin plus a sulfonylurea, or those already being treated with the combination of linagliptin and metformin. It can be used alone or in combination with a sulfonylurea.

As previously reported by Medscape Medical News, the linagliptin/metformin combination was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration earlier this year.
