FAQs

Linapil 5Mg Tab contains Linagliptin, which belongs to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors used Linapil 5Mg Tab is prescribed for the condition of type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. It works by blocking the action of DPP-4 (an enzyme that destroys the hormone ‘Incretin’). The enzyme ‘Incretins’ helps produce more insulin only when required and reduces the liver's blood sugar level when not needed. Linapil 5Mg Tab should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes and for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.

Type 2 diabetes is a common form of diabetes. The body cannot make a sufficient amount of insulin and the body's insulin does not function properly. The blood glucose level increases, and symptoms such as frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger . Diabetes, if left untreated or not treated properly, can cause long-term complications like nerve damage, kidney damage, eye damage, foot problems, and fall under a higher risk of developing heart diseases.

Hypoglycemia refers to low blood sugar levels. Linapil 5Mg Tab can cause hypoglycemia. The symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness. Hypoglycemia can occur if you miss or delay your food, drink alcohol, over-exercise or take other antidiabetic medicine along with this medicine. People with diabetes are advised to keep a quick sugar source like glucose tablets, honey or fruit juice.

Linapil 5Mg Tab should be avoided in patients who are allergic to any of this medicine's components or excipients. It should be avoided in patients suffering from moderate to severe kidney disease and in patients with underlying metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis, consult your doctor for further advice.

No. Linapil 5Mg Tab is only prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes, also called 'non-insulin-dependent diabetes.'

In type 1 diabetes, cells in the pancreas that make insulin are destroyed, and the body is unable to make insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body's cells use glucose for energy. The condition is usually diagnosed in children and young people, so it used to be called juvenile diabetes.

About Linapil 5Mg Tab

Linapil 5Mg Tab is an anti-diabetic medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults along with diet and lifestyle changes. It is used alone or in combination with other drugs to lower blood sugar levels. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, also known as adult-onset diabetes.

Linapil 5Mg Tab contains Linagliptin, which belongs to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors used Linapil 5Mg Tab is prescribed for the condition of type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. It works by blocking the action of DPP-4 (an enzyme that destroys the hormone 'Incretin'). The enzyme 'Incretins' helps produce more insulin only when required and reduces the liver's blood sugar level when not needed. Linapil 5Mg Tab should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes and for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.

Take Linapil 5Mg Tab as prescribed. However, it should be taken at the same time of the day each time for best results. Your doctor will recommend you how often you take Linapil 5Mg Tab based on your medical condition. The most common side effects of Linapil 5Mg Tab are hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels), upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis (infection of nose and throat with common cold), and headache.

If you stop taking Linapil 5Mg Tab abruptly, it may increase your sugar levels, which could further increase the risk of eyesight loss (retinopathy), kidney (nephropathy) and nerve damage (neuropathy). Linapil 5Mg Tab should not be taken if you have severe kidney or liver disease. Please inform your doctor if you have any heart disease is or planning to get pregnant or breastfeeding.
