Glem Lin 10/5mg Tablet

Glem Lin 10/5mg Tablet is a medication containing two active ingredients: Empagliflozin & linagliptin. It is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus to help control blood sugar levels.

Active Ingredients:

• Empagliflozin: Empagliflozin belongs to the class of medications known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It works by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, leading to increased urinary excretion of glucose and consequently lowering blood sugar levels.
• Linagliptin: Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones in the body, which help to stimulate the release of insulin and inhibit the release of glucagon, thereby reducing blood sugar levels.

Uses:

Glem Lin 10/5mg Tablet is indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps improve glycemic control by two different mechanisms: reducing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys and increasing insulin release.

Mechanism of Action:

• Empagliflozin inhibits the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the kidneys, leading to increased urinary excretion of glucose.
• Linagliptin inhibits the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), which increases the levels of incretin hormones. These hormones stimulate insulin release and inhibit glucagon secretion, resulting in decreased blood sugar levels.
