About this product
Overview
Erlina 10/5mg Tablet is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: Empagliflozin & Linagliptin. It is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Components
- Empagliflozin: Belongs to the class of medications known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It works by promoting the excretion of glucose through the urine, leading to lower blood sugar levels.
- Linagliptin: Is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that helps increase the levels of incretin hormones. This, in turn, stimulates the release of insulin and reduces the production of glucose by the liver.
Uses
Erlina 10/5mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus to help improve glycemic control. It is typically prescribed alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Mechanism of Action
The combination of Empagliflozin and Linagliptin works by targeting different pathways to lower blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Empagliflozin reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, while Linagliptin increases insulin release and reduces glucagon levels.
Administration
Take the tablet orally with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. Follow the prescribed dosage for optimal diabetes management.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include urinary tract infections, increased urination, and upper respiratory tract infections. Serious side effects are rare but may include kidney problems or hypersensitivity reactions. Report any unusual or severe side effects to your healthcare provider.
Precautions
- Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions, especially kidney problems.
- Disclose all medications, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as any herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
