• Type 2 diabetes in adults
• Blood sugar control along with diet and exercise

Linagliptin belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor group. It blocks the DPP-4 enzyme, which lets natural gut hormones called incretins last longer. These hormones make the pancreas release insulin after meals and lower the sugar made by the liver.

Take as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food. Try to take it at the same time each day for steady control.

• Stuffy or runny nose
• Sore throat
• Mild stomach upset
• Joint pain in a few people
• Low blood sugar when combined with other diabetes medicines

Tell your doctor about pancreas problems, kidney disease, or any allergy to similar medicines. Do not stop on your own. Check sugar regularly and report symptoms like severe stomach pain, which may signal pancreatitis.
