Linagliptin (5mg)
Active composition
Linagliptin inhibits the enzyme DPP-4, leading to increased levels of incretin hormones, which promote insulin secretion and inhibit glucagon release, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.
Medical applications
Linahenz 5mg Tablet contains Linagliptin 5mg, a potent and selective dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Linagliptin enhances the incretin system by preventing the degradation of incretin hormones, thereby increasing insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner. This mechanism helps improve glycemic control without causing significant hypoglycemia or weight gain. Linahenz is typically prescribed as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycemic control. The tablet is administered orally once daily, with or without food. Linahenz is well tolerated, with a low risk of adverse effects; however, patients should be monitored for signs of pancreatitis, hypersensitivity reactions, and renal function alterations. It is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dose adjustments are generally not required in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. Linahenz 5mg Tablet offers an effective and convenient therapeutic option for improving glycemic parameters and managing type 2 diabetes in adult patients.
