Linabite M 1000mg/5mg Tablet

Linabite M 1000mg/5mg Tablet is a dual-acting medicine given to people with type 2 diabetes to help manage their blood sugar levels. It works by improving how the body responds to insulin and reducing the amount of glucose released by the liver.

Doctors may prescribe it on its own or along with other medicines for diabetes. To get the maximum benefit, it should be taken regularly as part of a treatment plan that also includes healthy eating habits and daily physical activity. Swallowing it with food helps reduce stomach-related discomfort. The dose depends on your condition and should always be followed as advised by your doctor.

It is important to continue taking this tablet as directed, even if your sugar levels improve, because stopping suddenly may disturb your diabetes control. Following a balanced lifestyle along with medication gives the best long-term results.

Some people may notice side effects such as nausea, dizziness, headache, tiredness, vomiting, skin rash, or changes in liver function. Occasionally, low blood sugar may occur, particularly when combined with insulin or similar medicines. If side effects continue or become troublesome, speak to your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have kidney, liver, pancreas, or heart-related issues before starting this treatment. It is not intended for type 1 diabetes. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this tablet. Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Your doctor may also check your kidney health and blood sugar levels during treatment.

This medicine contains metformin, which lowers glucose made by the liver, slows down sugar absorption from the gut, and improves insulin sensitivity. It also contains linagliptin, which increases insulin secretion and lowers hormones that raise blood sugar, keeping both fasting and post-meal glucose levels in check. Used together, they provide better overall control.

If you forget to take a dose, have it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next one. In that case, skip the missed tablet and continue with your usual timing. Do not take two doses at the same time.
