Can I Take Tradjenta Duo For Kidney Damage?
I have been taking Trajenta Duo 2/500 mg two times a day and Glimestar M3 Forte also two times a day. The total quantity of Metformin is 4000 mg per day. My homeopathy doctor says that too much Metformin can cause kidney damage. What is your advise ?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
Trajenta Duo contains Linagliptin and metformin which is give to control diabetes. It should not be given if there is renal failure or dysfunction (CrCl <60 mL/min). Creatinine clearance is a test that measures the functioning of the kidneys. If your creatinine clearance is more than 60 ml per min then you can take Trajenta Duo safely. This medication is to be taken under doctors supervision and in recommended doses. Take this medication after food. Please do not worry.
