How Linagreat 5MG Tab Works

Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases levels of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). This enhances glucose-dependent insulin release and reduces glucagon secretion, thereby lowering blood sugar with a low risk of hypoglycaemia when used alone.

Dosage & Directions

Take by mouth as prescribed, typically 5 mg once daily, with or without food. Swallow tablet whole with water at the same time each day; continue diet and exercise. If a dose is missed, take it when remembered (do not double the dose).

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
