CompositionLinares Tablet is used to manage high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. By keeping glucose levels in a healthy range, it helps prevent the long-term progression of diabetes-related complications like vision loss and foot ulcers. This medication is especially beneficial for patients who have kidney issues, as it is primarily processed by the liver rather than the kidneys.
This treatment contains Linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor. It works by increasing the levels of "incretin" hormones in the body. These hormones tell the pancreas to produce more insulin when blood sugar is high and signal the liver to stop producing unnecessary sugar. This "smart" mechanism only works when your blood sugar is elevated, which greatly reduces the risk of having a "sugar crash" (hypoglycemia).
This tablet should be taken once daily, with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. It works best when combined with a proper diet and regular exercise. Consult your healthcare provider if you experience severe and persistent stomach pain, as this can be a sign of a rare but serious side effect involving the pancreas.
