How it works

This is likely a combination of an antidiabetic DPP-4 inhibitor (commonly saxagliptin/teneligliptin/vildagliptin/linagliptin) with metformin. The DPP-4 inhibitor increases incretin levels to enhance glucose-dependent insulin release and reduce glucagon, while metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity.

Directions for use

Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Usually taken orally once or twice daily with meals (especially if it contains metformin) to reduce stomach upset; swallow tablets whole with water. Do not stop or change dose without medical advice.
