Glyxambi 10 mg/5 mg Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Empagliflozin (10 mg): As a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, empagliflozin operates by preventing the reabsorption of glucose in your kidneys. The result of this action is an increase in glucose excretion via the urine, leading to lower blood sugar levels.

• Linagliptin (5 mg): Classified as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, linagliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme which typically degrades incretin hormones. Incretin hormones are responsible for stimulating insulin secretion, so by inhibiting DPP-4, linagliptin increases insulin secretion and decreases glucagon secretion, helping to manage blood sugar levels.
