Lina-Met 2.5/500 Tablets

Lina-Met 2.5/500 Tablets, made by CCL Pharmaceuticals Ltd, is a combination of a DPP-4 inhibitor and a biguanide for type 2 diabetes. Its active ingredient is Linagliptin + Metformin, and it is used for type 2 diabetes. Pack size: 14 tablets.

Uses of Lina-Met 2.5/500 Tablets

Lina-Met 2.5/500 Tablets is used to control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet, exercise and metformin alone are not enough. Combining two medicines in one tablet can make treatment simpler. Keeping blood sugar under good control helps lower the long-term risk of damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels. It is used alongside a healthy diet and regular activity.

How Lina-Met 2.5/500 Tablets works

Linagliptin boosts the body’s own incretin hormones, which prompt the pancreas to release more insulin after meals and reduce the amount of sugar the liver releases. Metformin lowers the amount of glucose made by the liver and helps the body’s cells respond better to insulin.

Stomach-related side effects are the most common with Lina-Met 2.5/500 Tablets, especially in the first few weeks, and include:

• Nausea
