Linagliptin 2.5mg + Metformin HCL 1000mg Tablet

Linagliptin 2.5mg + Metformin HCL 1000mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines, which are Linagliptin & Metformin HCL. These 2 medicines help to control Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It also helps to manage the blood sugar levels when a diet and exercise alone are not sufficient. This medicine also helps to regulate blood glucose easily.

The medicine also helps the body to use insulin and reduce the amount of sugar produced by the liver. This combination also helps to keep the blood sugar levels stable throughout the day. If your blood sugar levels are in control, they can reduce the risk of diabetes related complications such as kidney damage, nerve issues, and heart disease.

How It work?

Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor drug that stimulates natural incretin hormone levels in the human body. As a result, insulin secretion from the pancreas is increased after the meal, and the blood sugar production by the liver is inhibited.

Metformin HCL is a biguanide-type drug. It is primarily responsible for blood sugar control through the reduction of liver glucose production and the enhancement of the body’s insulin sensitivity. Furthermore, it slows down the absorption of sugar from the intestines into the bloodstream.
