Linagliptin is a prescription medication used as part of diabetes management for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control blood sugar levels by regulating the insulin your body produces after eating.
Linagliptin is primarily used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet, exercise, and possibly other diabetes medications.
The key benefit of linagliptin is its ability to lower blood sugar levels, which can reduce the risk of diabetes complications, such as nerve damage, kidney failure, and heart disease. Linagliptin is unique in that it does not typically cause weight gain and has a lower risk of causing hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) compared to some other diabetes medications.
Common side effects include nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, and diarrhea. More serious side effects can occur, such as pancreatitis, severe joint pain, or allergic reactions. It’s important to consult a healthcare provider if any troublesome or severe side effects occur.
Linagliptin is usually taken once a day, with or without food. It’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and use. Do not adjust your dose or frequency without consulting your doctor.
Linagliptin works by inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, which results in a longer action of incretin hormones. These hormones help increase insulin release in response to meals and decrease the amount of sugar produced by the liver, leading to lower blood sugar levels.
Store linagliptin at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the medication in its original container, and make sure the lid is tightly closed when not in use. Do not store in bathrooms or areas of high moisture.
Before using linagliptin, inform your healthcare provider about any other medical conditions or allergies you have and any other medications you are taking. Linagliptin should not be used for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Monitoring blood sugar levels regularly and following your healthcare provider’s instructions for diet and exercise are crucial for the effectiveness of this medication.
