How to use

How It works

Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that increases the levels of incretin hormones, leading to enhanced insulin secretion and reduced glucagon secretion. Metformin works by reducing hepatic glucose production and improving insulin sensitivity in muscle cells, leading to decreased glucose release by the liver and increased glucose uptake by muscle cells.

What if you forget to take?

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is close to the time of your next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.
