Diabetes triplet medicine Trijardy (empagliflozin/linagliptin/metformin) has won approval from the US regulator as a therapy, along with diet and exercise, to lower blood sugar levels for adults with diabetes.

Developed by German private firm Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY), Trijardy is the result of a long-standing alliance in diabetes, which the firms updated in 2014.

The product provides three type 2 diabetes medicines in one pill, including Boehringer and Lilly’s Jardiance (empagliflozin) and Tradjenta (linagliptin), together with metformin hydrochloride.
