Linics 5 mg Tablet

Blood Sugar Control: Linagliptin is an antidiabetic medication that helps lower and regulate blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

1. Improved Blood Sugar Control: Linagliptin helps lower elevated blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and its associated complications.

2. Weight Maintenance: Unlike some other diabetes medications, Linagliptin is weight-neutral, which means it is less likely to cause weight gain.

3. Lower Risk of Hypoglycemia: Linagliptin is less likely to cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when used as a monotherapy (alone). It has a lower risk of causing low blood sugar compared to some other diabetes medications.

1. Upper Respiratory Tract Infections: This can include symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, and cough.

2. Headache: Some individuals may experience headaches.

3. Back Pain: Back pain can be a side effect in some cases.

Take Linagliptin 5 mg exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The dosage and frequency will depend on your specific medical condition and their recommendations

Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) in the body. Here's how it works:

• Incretin Hormones: Linagliptin enhances the activity of incretin hormones, which are naturally occurring hormones in the body. These hormones help regulate blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and reducing the production of glucose in the liver.

• Insulin Release: By increasing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon production, Linagliptin helps lower blood sugar levels after meals.
