LINJARDY 5/10 MG TABLET (Linagliptin+ Empagliflozin) Description:

LINJARDY is a combination of two oral antidiabetic medications, linagliptin and empagliflozin. It is used to lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. LINJARDY works by increasing insulin release when blood sugar is high, and decreasing the amount of glucose produced and absorbed by the liver.

Uses:

• LINJARDY is used to lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
• It can also be used to improve glycemic control in combination with other oral antidiabetic medications, or with insulin.

Benefits:

• LINJARDY helps to lower blood sugar levels and improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
• It also helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications (e.g. heart attack, stroke) associated with uncontrolled diabetes.
• LINJARDY is an effective option for patients who are not able to control their blood sugar levels with diet and exercise alone.

Side effects:

• Common side effects of LINJARDY include:
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Headache
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
• Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include:
  • Ketoacidosis (a potentially life-threatening condition in which the body produces too much acid)
  • Allergic reactions (e.g. rash, itching, swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat)
  • Dehydration
  • Bladder cancer

It is important to inform your doctor about any symptoms you experience while taking LINJARDY. They may adjust the dose or switch to a different medication if necessary.

Patients should also inform their doctor if they have any history of kidney problems, liver problems, or bladder cancer, as these conditions can increase the risk of serious side effects.

Note: This is not a comprehensive list of all possible side effects and others may occur. Please consult your doctor for a complete list of side effects and to discuss any concerns. It is important to take LINJARDY exactly as prescribed and to regularly monitor blood sugar levels to ensure safe and effective use.
