Ondero Met 2.5mg/500mg Tablet is taken orally.

Ondero Met 2.5mg/500mg Tablet comprises two active ingredients which work together to control blood sugar levels:

• Linagliptin (2.5 mg): As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, linagliptin works by slowing down the inactivation of certain hormones called incretins in your body. The result? An increase in insulin secretion and decrease in glucagon secretion when glucose is present in your body. These actions effectively lower blood glucose levels while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
• Metformin (500 mg): This component falls under a class of medications known as biguanides. Metformin works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by your liver, decreasing your intestines' absorption of glucose, and improving how responsive your body's cells are to insulin. These actions all contribute to reduce fasting and after-meal blood sugar levels.

• Store Ondero Met 2.5mg/500mg Tablet between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F) in a dry place.
• Keep the medicine away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
• Always ensure your medicine is stored out of reach of children.
• Be sure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• Follow a balanced diet with low sugar and low carbohydrate intake. This can help manage your blood sugar levels, complementing the action of Ondero Met 2.5mg/500mg Tablet.
• Regular physical exercise, like brisk walking or cycling, can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood glucose levels. Make sure you incorporate at least 30 minutes of physical activity into your daily routine.
