About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Linahenz D 10mg/5mg Tablet is a combination oral antidiabetic medication containing Dapagliflozin 10mg and Linagliptin 5mg, indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, reduces renal glucose reabsorption, promoting glycosuria and thereby lowering plasma glucose levels. Linagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, enhances incretin hormone activity, increasing insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner. The dual mechanism of action provides complementary glycemic control, improving HbA1c levels and fasting plasma glucose. Linahenz D is typically prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise when monotherapy with either agent is insufficient. It may be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic agents, excluding insulin. The tablet should be taken orally once daily, with or without food. Caution is advised in patients with renal impairment, and monitoring of renal function is recommended. Common adverse effects include urinary tract infections, nasopharyngitis, and hypoglycemia, particularly when combined with sulfonylureas or insulin. Linahenz D is contraindicated in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or severe renal impairment. Regular monitoring of glycemic control and renal function is essential during therapy.

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.
