3. Why is linagliptin given with metformin?
Linagliptin and metformin are often combined for
type 2 diabetes treatment, as linagliptin enhances

production, while metformin decreases overall
glucose production by the liver. Together, they
provide a comprehensive approach to managing
blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. The
combination may offer more effective control than
using either medication alone.

Linox M Tablet is a combination of two anti-diabetic medicines:
Metformin and Linagliptin. Metformin is an anti-diabetic medication
(biguanide). It works by lowering the glucose production in the liver,
delaying glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing the
body's sensitivity to insulin. Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor which
works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and
decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This reduces
both fasting and post meal sugar levels. Together, they provide
better control of blood sugar.
5. Yes, linagliptin is a medication used to lower blood sugar
levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It works by
increasing the levels of incretin hormones in the body,
which help to lower blood sugar levels by increasing
insulin production and decreasing the amount of glucose
produced by the liver. Clinical studies have shown that
linagliptin can effectively reduce HbA1c levels, which is a
measure of average blood sugar levels over a period of
time. It is important to note that individual responses to
medication can vary, and linagliptin should be used as
part of a comprehensive treatment plan for managing
type 2 diabetes.
