About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Juslina 5mg Tablet contains Linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Linagliptin works by enhancing the incretin system, which increases insulin secretion and decreases glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner, thereby improving glycemic control. Juslina is 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 recommended dose is 5 mg once daily, administered orally with or without food. Juslina is particularly advantageous due to its minimal renal excretion, allowing use in patients with varying degrees of renal impairment without dose adjustment. Common adverse effects may include nasopharyngitis, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections, with a low risk of hypoglycemia when used as monotherapy. Caution is advised when combined with sulfonylureas or insulin due to increased hypoglycemia risk. Linagliptin is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the active substance or any excipients. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels and renal function is recommended during therapy. Juslina 5mg Tablet offers an effective and well-tolerated option for glycemic management in type 2 diabetes.

About Linagliptin

Linagliptin is an oral medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the class of DPP-4 inhibitors, which work by increasing insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon levels in response to meals. This helps lower blood glucose levels effectively. Linagliptin is often prescribed alongside diet and exercise to improve glycemic control. Side effects may include upper respiratory infections and headache. In summary, Linagliptin is a valuable option for managing type 2 diabetes.

How It Works

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.
