Linapride-5 Tablet contains Linagliptin (5 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• DPP-4 Inhibition: Linagliptin blocks an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 in your body. This enzyme normally breaks down certain hormones that are involved in regulating insulin and glucose levels.

• Increases Insulin Production: By blocking DPP-4, linagliptin helps increase the production of insulin from your pancreas after meals. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels.

• Reduces Glucose Release: Alongside increasing insulin production, linagliptin also reduces the amount of glucose that gets released into your bloodstream from your liver. This helps to lower both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels effectively.

• Store Linapride-5 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Shield it from direct light and moisture.

• Keep this medicine securely closed in its original packaging.

• Ensure the medicine remains out of children's reach.

• Always check the expiry date on the label before use.

• Regular physical activity: Incorporate a regular exercise routine into your day, which can help manage blood glucose levels effectively. This could be as simple as taking a brisk walk for 30 minutes daily.

• Healthy eating: Adopt a balanced diet packed with whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Limit your intake of sugary drinks and snacks, as they can cause spikes in your blood sugar levels.
