Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Dual, Complementary Action | The two drugs work synergistically: Metformin reduces liver glucose production and increases muscle sensitivity to insulin; Linagliptin enhances the body's natural incretin hormones to stimulate insulin release. |
| Comprehensive Glycemic Control | Effectively targets both basal and postprandial (after-meal) glucose levels, leading to significant and sustained lowering of average blood sugar. |
| Convenience and Compliance | Combining two necessary treatments into a single tablet simplifies the patient's regimen, improving the likelihood of consistent daily dosing. |
| Weight-Neutral/Loss Potential | Unlike some older diabetes medications, this combination is typically weight-neutral or may lead to a mild weight loss (primarily due to Metformin). |
⚠️ Important Safety Note: Prescription Antidiabetic
Prescription Use Only: This is a prescription medication. Do not start or stop taking Linamet without consulting your doctor.
Lactic Acidosis Risk: The Metformin component carries a rare but serious risk of lactic acidosis. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms like deep/rapid breathing, persistent nausea, vomiting, or severe muscle pain. The risk increases with kidney impairment (renal failure/dysfunction) and alcohol intake (avoid alcohol).
Kidney Function: Your doctor must check your kidney function (eGFR) before starting this medicine and regularly thereafter.
