Medicine information
Uses & overview
LINALIGLIP DAPA 5-10 is an oral antidiabetic combination tablet marketed by Steris Healthcare. It contains Linagliptin 5 mg and Dapagliflozin 10 mg, two active ingredients that work through different mechanisms to support blood glucose management in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Linagliptin 5 mg belongs to the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class. It helps increase the activity of incretin hormones, which support glucose-dependent insulin release and help regulate blood glucose levels. Dapagliflozin 10 mg belongs to the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class. It helps lower blood glucose by reducing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, allowing excess glucose to be eliminated through urine. The combination of Linagliptin and Dapagliflozin may be prescribed when a healthcare professional determines that both medicines are suitable for an individual's diabetes treatment plan. Alongside medication, healthy dietary habits, regular physical activity, and routine blood glucose monitoring remain important. LINALIGLIP DAPA 5-10 should be used under medical supervision. Its suitability depends on the patient's medical history, kidney function, current medicines, blood glucose levels, and response to treatment.
