Eli Lilly and Co. (LLY) said Monday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Trijardy to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Lilly said Trijardy XR, which is marketed by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Lilly, combines three medicines--Jardiance, or empagliflozin, Tradjenta, or linagliptin, and metformin hydrochloride extended release--in one pill.

Trijardy is indicated for use along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar.

Trijardy is a once-a-day medication, Lilly said, adding it will be available in four different dosages.
