CompositionLinapil M 2.5/500 Tablet 10 is a medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It helps keep blood sugar levels steady, which lowers the risk of long-term diabetes problems affecting the kidneys, nerves, and eyes.
It is a combination of oral antidiabetic medicines that work in different ways, including helping the body release more insulin and reducing the glucose made by the liver. It is usually taken with food to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Continue taking it regularly even when you feel well, and do not stop it without medical advice.
Diet and lifestyle play an important part in managing diabetes alongside this medicine. These include eating regular balanced meals, limiting sugary foods and drinks, staying physically active, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any kidney problems, a history of pancreatitis, or other medicines you take. Long-term use can sometimes lower vitamin B12 levels, so your doctor may check this from time to time. Tell your doctor straight away if you feel very unwell with vomiting, fast breathing, or unusual muscle pain.
