Linacip Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Linacip Tablet 15 contains a single active component, Linagliptin (5 Mg). Here's how it works on your body:

• DPP-4 inhibition: Linagliptin operates by blocking an enzyme in your body known as DPP-4. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down certain hormones that help control your blood sugar levels.

• Increased incretin levels: By blocking DPP-4, linagliptin increases the levels of these hormones, known as incretins. This prolongs their action, helping to lower your blood sugar levels.

• Blood sugar regulation: As a result of increased incretin levels, your pancreas is stimulated to produce more insulin when needed, and your liver is signalled to reduce glucose production when your blood sugar is high. This helps regulate your blood sugar levels.

• Side-effect management: Linagliptin does not cause weight gain or increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) when used alone, unlike some other oral anti-diabetic agents.

• Store your Linacip Tablet 15 in a tightly closed container.

• Keep it below 30°C.

• Protect it from light and moisture, so don't store it in the bathroom.

• To ensure safety, keep the medicine out of the reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date.

• Maintain a balanced diet low in sugars. Since Linacip Tablet 15 is used to manage type 2 diabetes, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help control your blood sugar levels.

• Regular physical activity like walking or cycling can also improve blood sugar control. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise daily to help manage your condition effectively.
