Important Warnings

For type 2 diabetes only; not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Risk of dehydration/low blood pressure—drink fluids and use caution in elderly/diuretics. SGLT2 inhibitors may rarely cause ketoacidosis (seek care for nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, breathlessness), urosepsis/pyelonephritis, and genital infections (including rare Fournier’s gangrene). Monitor kidney function; empagliflozin effectiveness reduces with severe renal impairment and may be contraindicated in advanced CKD—follow prescriber advice. Stop temporarily during major surgery/acute serious illness or prolonged fasting as advised. Risk of pancreatitis is rare with DPP-4 inhibitors; stop if severe abdominal pain occurs.

Drug Interactions

Celavi M 10/25MG Tab may interact with the following:

Insulin and sulfonylureas (increased hypoglycaemia risk)
diuretics (increased dehydration/hypotension risk)
lithium (may reduce levels with SGLT2 inhibitors)
rifampicin (may reduce linagliptin exposure)
strong P-gp/CYP3A4 inducers (e.g.
carbamazepine
phenytoin
phenobarbital
rifampin) may decrease linagliptin effect; monitor glucose and adjust therapy as needed.

Always tell your doctor about all medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.

Pregnancy Safety

Not recommended; consult doctor (generally avoid SGLT2 inhibitors during 2nd/3rd trimester).

Alcohol Interaction

Use with caution; alcohol can increase risk of hypoglycaemia and dehydration and may increase ketoacidosis risk.
