Short answer: The Jentadueto Medication Guide says: if you miss a dose, take it with food as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until it is time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 at once. Section 17 also says not to double the next dose.
| Situation | What the label says |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Twice daily with meals, raised gradually; up to 2.5 mg linagliptin/1,000 mg metformin twice daily (2.1) |
| Missed a dose | Take it with food as soon as you remember (Medication Guide) |
| Time for the next dose | Skip the missed dose; back to the regular schedule (Medication Guide) |
| Doubling up | Do not double the next dose (17); do not take 2 doses at the same time (Medication Guide) |
Section 2 has no missed-dose subsection. Section 17, Missed Dose: "Instruct patients to take JENTADUETO only as prescribed. If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as the patient remembers. Advise patients not to double their next dose."
The Medication Guide says: "If you miss a dose, take it with food as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until it is time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses of JENTADUETO at the same time."
Yes. Unlike many labels, the Jentadueto Medication Guide says "take it with food". Section 2.1 says Jentadueto is taken twice daily with meals, with the dose raised gradually to reduce stomach side effects from metformin.
