CompositionLinaur D Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults, helping to control blood sugar levels alongside diet and exercise. It is a combination medicine containing dapagliflozin, which helps the kidneys remove excess glucose in the urine, and linagliptin, which helps the body release more insulin when blood sugar is high, and belongs to classes of medicines called SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors.
This medicine works by helping the kidneys pass extra glucose out through the urine, and by increasing insulin release and reducing glucose production by the liver when blood sugar is high. It may also help reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications when used as part of an overall treatment plan. Take it as prescribed, with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Following a controlled-carbohydrate diet, staying physically active and maintaining a healthy weight can support better blood sugar control alongside this medicine. Regular blood sugar monitoring, as advised by your doctor, helps track your progress.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, a history of urinary tract infections, or are taking other medicines. Contact your doctor if you notice symptoms of a urinary tract infection, unusual thirst, signs of low blood sugar, or nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or unusual tiredness, which can be signs of ketoacidosis.
