Linacent-M 2.5/1000 is formulated to provide comprehensive management of blood glucose levels in adults with Type 2 Diabetes.
-
Linagliptin (2.5 mg): Works by increasing the levels of “incretin” hormones in the body. These hormones help the pancreas produce more insulin when blood sugar is high and signal the liver to produce less sugar.
-
Metformin HCl (1000 mg): A foundational diabetes medication that improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin and reduces the amount of sugar absorbed from food and produced by the liver.
Together, these two ingredients work synergistically to lower HbA1c levels more effectively than either drug alone. This 1000 mg Metformin strength is particularly suited for patients requiring intensive blood sugar regulation as part of a long-term maintenance plan.
